Summary
| Description |
Wyoming's Meeteetse Formation is an Upper Cretaceous unit that consists of mixed siliciclastics and coal. It varies in thickness from a feather's edge (due to erosion) to almost 1,000 feet thick. In the deep subsurface, the Meeteetse reaches about 4,500 feet thick and can have up to 100 different coal horizons, some of which are 20 feet thick.
