Environment:deep subtidal indet. Tectonic setting:cratonic basin
Geology comments: SEP: from Samtleben et al. (1996). Geol Rundsch 85:278; "In the central ara of Gotland..consists of narrowly spaced reefmounds consisting mainly of tabulates, sstromatopores and bryozoans within a shoal area with coarse and medium-grained biodetritic and crinoidal limestones, which have been extensively transported, washed and sorted. To the west the platform ends with a slope forming the transition to a deeper basin area where limestone-marl alterations were deposited. In the eastern part of Gotland...series of limestones (mainly wackestones and packstones), often oncolitic and with an impoverished fauna. They accumulated in shallow water under back reef to restricted marine conditions." based on description in ref. 6127, almost all tentaculitids are known from the marls in the Klinteberg Beds
