There are no references for this group out there. I spent an hour in the university library online looking for this group. Nothing. Akrasia25 (talk) 19:46, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - I'm actually able to find a bit. There's a solid paragraph here. This only appears to be passing mentions, though. This is also a brief mention. Here is some discussion, under the former name of "Okeechobee Formation" (the first reference provided indicates that this geologic strata was upgraded from a Formation to a Group. A fossilworks search suggests this is of some importance. This doesn't go super in-depth, but seems to discuss a lot of samples taken from it. My inclination is that this is the sort of "named natural feature" that falls under WP:GEOLAND #4, and there seems to be enough to meet GEOLAND. Hog Farm _Bacon 21:01, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep I think Hog Farm is onto something there. There's a number of papers that mention an informal Okeechobee Formation, e.g [1]: SCOTT (1992) suggested grouping the latest Pliocene through late Pleistocene Caloosahatchee, Bermont, and Fort Thompson Formations in to a single lithostratigraphic entity, the Okeechobee formation (informal). And about half a dozen more in that vein. So, possibly informal but term in use. I think if that provenance is made clear in the article then we are good. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 01:31, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, assuming the sources Hog Farm has found can be added to the article. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 06:54, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree. I will add that the book The Geology of the Everglades and Adjacent Areas

By Edward J. Petuch, Charles Roberts · 2007 changed it from Okeechobee Formation to Okeechobee group. Thanks all.--Akrasia25 (talk) 15:20, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
