Stratigraphy
Formation:Evtropina
Local section:Evtropiny Noski outcrop Local bed:Unit 5
Local order:bottom to top
Stratigraphy comments: "Evtropiny Noski outcrop is about 330m in length and is formed by a simple, wide syncline, the eastern limb of which is faulted just to the east of the synclinal axis."
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:gray,green argillaceous chert
Lithology description: "thin and thick, banded, platy cherts and phthanites. The cherts are light and dark grey, greyish green, and green, with thin (up to 2-3cm thick) intercalations of argillite."
Environment:deep subtidal indet.
Geology comments: "Evtropina Formation is interpreted as a relatively deep-water, bathyal sequence."
