The depositional environment of strata near the boundary is equally controversial. For example, widespread deposits of orthoquartzite or quartz arenite have been interpreted as offshore bars, tidal channels, and barri e-r-:-bars of a mari ne envi ronment by Englund and Delaney (1966), Englund (1972), Ferm (1974b), Miller (1974), and Cecil and Englund (1985) or as distributary channels, braided streams, or delta lobes of a terrestrial environment (Donaldson and Shumaker, 1979; Houseknecht, 1980).
Bode (1958), Bouroz and others (1978) and Wagner (1982a) all look upon this break as a useful stratigraphic marker throughout the paleoequatorial belt of Carboniferous strata. In northwestern Georgia, compressionimpression floras have been collected at 35 localities from Pennsylvanian strata and at 3 localities from the Upper Mississippian Pennington Formation (Gillespie and Crawford, 1985). The systemic boundary between the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian Systems in Georgia has been placed, in the absence of biostratigraphic data, at the contact between the Pennington Formation and the Raccoon Mountain Member of the Gizzard Formation (Thomas and Cramer, 1979).
