The Colton Formation is a geologic formati … The Colton Formation is a geologic formation in Utah. Its age is based on its position between the Upper Cretaceous-Paleocene North Horn Formation and overlying Green River Formation. The name was first used by P.T. Walton in 1944 for strata below the Green River Formation at the base of the Roan Cliffs, Utah. However, the type section was first given by E.M. Spieker in 1946. for exposures near the town of Colton on Soldier Summit, Utah County, Utah. Previously, the strata were assigned to the Wasatch Formation, which had become a rather generic name by the US Geological Survey for mudstone-sandstone strata of Eocene age. The formation is composed of reddish-brown to green beds of mudstone and shaly siltstone, interlayered with yellowish- to grayish-orange and grayish-brown, thin, fine- to medium-grained quartzose sandstone beds. The mudstones are locally variegated in shades of red and gray. Many sandstones are cross-bedded in large and small trough sets and the thicker samdstones are interpreted as deltaic deposits growing into Lake Flagstaff and Lake Uinta. Root structures and mudcracks are common in the mudstone beds. The only fossil described to date is a fragmentary skeleton of the aquatic bird Presbyornis recurvirostrus from a lacustrine limestone.ecurvirostrus from a lacustrine limestone.
