Stratigraphy
Formation:Dabaidi
Stratigraphic resolution:formation
Stratigraphy comments: Except where otherwise stated, ref. 7624 uses Lower Silurian as equivalent to Llandovery, Middle Silurian as equivalent to Wenlock, and Upper Silurian as equivalent to Ludlow plus Pridoli.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: "shale"
Secondary lithology: sandstone
Lithology description: "The total thickness of the unit is 1275 m. The beds consist of gray-green shale, purple sandstone in the upper part, and fine-grained sandstone interbedded with siltstone in the lower and middle parts. The formation is characterized by ripple marks and lense-like shale bands. Some of the shales are laminated."
Environment:marine indet.
