Carrizo Arroyo Unit 38, 39, 40 (Carboniferous of the United States)

Where: Valencia County, New Mexico (35.8° N, 107.1° W: paleocoordinates 0.6° N, 36.9° W)

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Red Tanks Formation, Virgilian (303.7 - 298.9 Ma)

• Fusulinid information provided in other papers, but only generally cited here.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: gray, calcareous shale and gray limestone

• Unit 38 is a sequence of interbedded thin gray limestone ledges and calcareous shale beds about 1.9 m thick, and it is overlain by a more massive gray limestone with minor shaly limestone beds about 1.2 m thick (unit 39). Unit 40 is a thin (0.5 m) shaly unit with some calcareous intervals (unit 40) overlies the thick limestone ledge that comprises unit 39

Size class: macrofossils

Reposited in the UNM

Taxonomic list

• For some reason, Kues lumps units 38 & 39 for brachiopods & gastropods with unit 40 separate, but he then lumps units 39 & 40 for bivalves. So, I've lumped all three.
