Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | argillaceous,silty "limestone" |
Includes fossils? | Y |
Lithology description: "[H]omogeneous sequence of micrites and microbiosparites, commonly silty and argillaceous. The bedding is regular to nodular and generally thin (3-8 cm) to medium (8-20 cm), rarely thickly bedded. Sand-size components are absent and more common biotic contributors to skeletal sands (pelmatozoans, heavy-shelled brachiopods, algae, corals, or stromatoporioids) are rare or absent." | |
Environment: | deep subtidal indet. |
Geology comments: "[H]omogeneous, probably soft bottom, carbonate and mud substrate, deposited under quiet water conditions on a wide shelf ranging from the littoral to, possibly, deep sub-littoral zones." |
