Atlantic & Burlington County Sites

65 - Absecon Bay #1

Absecon Bay #1 is a natural New Jersey coastal plain upland hill that projects above the present salt marsh surface elevation.  It is presently heavily vegetated and surrounded by marine salt marsh plant growth and its corresponding organic-rich silt sediment.  Coarse sands and gravel are found here and are similar to other Atlantic County uplands island sediments typical of the Bridgeton Formation (the youngest geologic unit of the coastal plain).
