Meaning Of Laramie group
An extensive series of strata, principally developed
in the Rocky Mountain region, as in the Laramie Mountains, and formerly
supposed to be of the Tertiary age, but now generally regarded as
Cretaceous, or of intermediate and transitional character. It contains
beds of lignite, often valuable for coal, and is hence also called the
lignitic group. See Chart of Geology.
