Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From unnamed Quaternary terrace, which locally overlies Altamira Shale (middle-late Miocene). AGE: Late Pleistocene, following Marincovich (1976), but edited to middle Pleistocene by enterer on the basis of terrace position. STRATIGRAPHIC DETAILS: From terrace nine of Woodring et al. (1946). | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | unlithified "siliciclastic" |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: LITHOLOGY: not reported in text, but siliciclastic. LITHIFICATION: not reported in text, but fossils in LACMIP collection from LACMIP loc. 1309 are unlithified. | |
| Environment: | shoreface |
| Glacial or sequence phase: | transgressive |
| Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: fauna is characteristic of rocky intertidal or shallow subtidal hard ground. SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY: from terrace deposit accumulated under transgressive conditions. | |
