Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Castle Hayne | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: LITHOSTRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONSHIPS: Castle Hayne Limestone. AGE: Eocene, according to Miller (1947); Bartonian, according to Kier (1980). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position in section. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | pebbly,phosphatic,shelly/skeletal poorly lithified wackestone |
| Secondary lithology: | grainstone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: LITHOLOGY: Kier: three facies in ascending stratigraphic order: phosphate pebble biomicrudite, bryozoan biosparrudite, bryozoan biomicrudite; Kellum: soft white limestone or marl with many fossils. LITHIFICATION: Poorly lithified, on the basis of facies description. | |
| Environment: | deep subtidal ramp |
| Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: 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. | |
