Describe what you're trying to do
Some lithostratigraphic units can be in multiple tables (member, formation, group). This is because the unit type can be revised and it can also vary geographically. For example, the Chinle in most places is a formation, but in New Mexico it is raised to group level.
This can make finding everything from one unit challenging, especially if you do not know if it is in more than one table. It would be helpful to have a search field for all lithostratigraphic units.
