Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:"cross stratification",planar lamination,grading,dolomitic lithified packstone
Lithology description: The dominant lithology is dolomitic pelmatozoan pack- and grainstones; fossils are disarticulated and commonly fragmented, but (rarely) complete tecae and evencrowns of pelmatozoans occur, particularly on the flanks of small bioherms. Lamination, minor graded bedding, and cross stratification are common, and in the Gasport Limestone, apparent bipolar (herringbone) cross lamination is well developed in some outcrops.
Environment:reef, buildup or bioherm
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation:body
Collection methods and comments
