The Hammer Creek Formation is a mapped bedrock unit consisting primarily of conglomerate, coarse sandstone, and shale. The Hammer Creek Formation was originally mapped as part of the Gettysburg Formation in Adams County, Pennsylvania in 1929. J. D. Glaeser renamed part of the Gettysburg to the Hammer Creek in 1963, to "avoid extending either the Gettysburg Formation from the west or the Brunswick Formation from the east to include rocks typical of neither unit."
