The Chandler Bridge Formation is a geologic formation in South Carolina. It preserves fossils dating back to the Chattian (Late Oligocene) of the Paleogene period, corresponding to the Arikareean in the NALMA classification.[1] The formation overlies the Ashley Formation and is overlain by the Edisto Formation.[2]
