... as the “conglomerate measures” in the Cahaba synclinorium, the uppermost Pottsville Formation consists of conglomerates and subordinate sandstone, shale, and coal. These siliciclastic sediments were deposited during the Alleghenian orogeny primarily in braidplain-anastomosis environments in Alabama and Mississippi...
