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.[3] J. D. Glaeser renamed part of the Gettysburg to the Hammer Creek in 1963,[2] to "avoid extending either the Gettysburg Formation from the west or the Brunswick Formation from the east to include rocks typical of neither unit."

A major groundwater resources study of the Hammer Creek Formation and other formations of the Newark Supergroup in Pennsylvania was published by Charles R. Wood in 1980.[1]
