Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | "cross stratification",planar lamination,dolomitic lithified "limestone" |
Secondary lithology: | lithified dolomite |
Lithology description: "Porcelanite, dolomitic, gray, pale weathering; appears massive on fresh fracture but weathering reveals very fine lamination due to relief weathering of silty laminae; minor cross-lamination. Twelve feet below top is zone of fossiliferous buff dolomite. Near base is band of black chert nodules; a few inches higher is band with poorly sorted, rounded sand, dark chert granules and pebbles, and debris of silicified fossils, probably derived from underlying bed. | |
Environment: | deep subtidal indet. |
