Stratigraphy
Member:Daleje Shale
Stratigraphy comments: the lowermost part of the Daleje Shale corresponds to the Nowakia elegans zone and is thus topmost Zlichovian in age, while the succeeding beds are Dalejan in age.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:bioturbation,concretionary,gray,green,red calcareous mudstone
Secondary lithology:gray lime mudstone
Lithology description: "Grey, green, red Chondrites-bearing calcareous mudstones with concretions of grey micritc limestones. A rhymic alternation of darker (grey-green) and lighter (olive-green) shales commonly occurs; the proportion of limestone concretions and intercalations increases upwards (a transition into the Trebotov Limestones)."
Environment:deep subtidal indet.
Geology comments: "low-energy quiet conditions in the deeper subtidal zone, most likely Benthic Assemblage 4 to 5 of Boucot."
Taphonomy
