Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: "Occurs in about 5 m thick beds of light-colored biosparite, in places with a tuffaceous admixture."
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: "A BA 3 assignment is reasonable. The commonly disarticulated nature of the brachiopods is consistent with a moderate level of current activity."
Taphonomy
