Stratigraphy
Formation:Castle Hayne
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:pebbly,phosphatic,shelly/skeletal lithified wackestone
Secondary lithology: grainstone
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: Kier: three facies in ascending stratigraphic order: phosphate pebble biomicrudite, bryozoan biosparrudite, bryozoan biomicrudite; Kellum: fragmented shell rock
Environment:deep subtidal ramp
Geology comments: The Castle Hayne Limestone was deposited in an open, normal salinity environment between 30 m and 100 m in water depth. Comfort Member contains cross-bedded intervals, suggesting some energy, consistent with deep subtidal environment.
