Paleontology and geology

Some Cretaceous gravels, sands, silts, and clays have been reported on Block Island off the south coast of Rhode Island, but these poorly consolidated sediments are too small to show on this map. These materials may have been present over other parts of the state, but they have since been eroded away.
