The Vincentown Formation is a late Paleocene marine formation of New Jersey and Delaware composed chiefly of glauconitic and quartz sands with locally developed fossiliferous calcareous beds. It is a shallow-shelf deposit with a close correlation to the Aquia Formation of Maryland and Virginia, making it a key stratigraphic unit for regional Paleocene correlations along the Atlantic Coastal Plain.
Th formation contains marine invertebrate fauna dominated by bryozoans, mollusks, brachiopods, and foraminifera.
