Pictured near Perry, in Houston County, the Tivola Limestone formed during the Late Eocene epoch, when sea levels in the region were particularly high. The Tivola is considered to be an extension of the Ocala Limestone, a white, fossiliferous limestone that formed during the Late Eocene in the Dougherty Plain of southwest Georgia.
