PBDB Collection

Castleton area, marginal shelf and back reef (Carboniferous of the United Kingdom)

Where: England, United Kingdom (53.3° N, 1.8° W: paleocoordinates 6.4° S, 1.6° E)

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: D1 zone, Asbian (340.0 - 336.0 Ma)

• Formation name unknown = "D1 limestone with Cyrtina band."

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: perireef or subreef; lithified, ooidal, shelly/skeletal packstone

• rocks that occur with about a qtr-mile of the reef [presumably the marginal shelf and back reef rocks] are calcarenites with less than 10% quartz and from 10-80% oolitic grains. [called spergenites]. they are composed of shell debris, simple, composite and oolitic grains set in a clear calcite cement. clay sized crystals...are almost absent.

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Collection methods: peel or thin section,
