Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | concretionary,gray lithified "limestone" |
| Secondary lithology: | gray mudstone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: GENERAL LITHOLOGY: Large grey limestone nodules in gray mudstone. LITHIFICATION: Assumed lithified based on lithologic description and figured specimens. | |
| Environment: | offshore |
| Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: In general regarded as shallow water, though some units includes assemblages displaced into deeper waters through turbidity currents. Here assigned to a siliciclastic offshore environment on the basis of lithology. | |
