The Beaverdam Formation is an upper Pliocene geologic formation on the Delmarva Peninsula in southern Delaware and eastern Maryland. It is the largest major surficial layer on the Delmarva Peninsula and has a lower stream-deposited unit and an upper estuarine unit. These units may represent a cycle of regression and transgression. The Beaverdam Formation is heterogeneous and ranges from very coarse sand with pebbles to silty clay. It unconformably overlies the or St. Mary's formations and it is up to 75-100 feet thick.
