Sadly, I could not locate this chart on their page, so this might be the only place where this chart is posted.
On 2/May/2016 I spent a day in the field locally with Jose Santamaria, the Executive Director of Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Georgia.
http://tellusmuseum.org/
Jose had come down to speak at the monthly meeting of the Mid-Georgia Gem and Mineral Society.

Jose is very familiar with NW Georgia's Valley & Ridge fossils but hasn't had much exposure to Coastal Plain sediments. He was pleasantly surprised by the wealth of fossils he saw.
When I told him that during an interview several years ago Sam Pickering described the Coastal Plain as some of the most complex sediments in Georgia, he was surprised, and asked if a chart existed.
I attended the Jose's talk and took him my copy of this chart. He carried it back to Tellus and had it scanned and converted to this PDF file.

I'm in touch with Mr. Paul Huddlestun so I asked him about this chart; below is his 21/May/2016 reply:
Thomas,
Yes, the year is 1981. The title is Correlation Chart of the Georgia Coastal Plain and it is Open-File 82-1. It seriously needs to be updated.

I post the PDF file here as a free download.
I don't know that it's available elsewhere.
A special thanks to Tim Morrill for formatting the file so I could post it here.
