Tony, et al.: You're right that in western Georgia the Providence SS
represents the latest Maastrichtian and is unconformably overlain by
the Clayton LS, which is early Paleocene: hence, we imply a hiatus.
However, I'm not convinced there isn't some locality where they are
conformable and where the K/T boundary is present: I'm finding that
the latest Providence age and earliest Clayton are nearly
contemporary. It also makes paleoecological and physical sence for
them to be penecontemporaneous.
