Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:gray argillaceous lime mudstone
Secondary lithology: calcareous "shale"
Includes fossils?Y
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: "...includes a large part of Horny's Decoroscutellum haidingeri Horizon, best developed in the area between Kolednik, Dlouga hora and Jarov, where it is confined to argillaceous, gray, rather laminated limestone grading into calcareous shale towards the SW..."
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: "...The rock contains many minute crinoid columnals. A soft bottom is inferred because of the sediment type (muddy limestone). Relations with overlying units suggest a BA 4-5 position."
Taphonomy
Collection methods and comments
Reason for describing collection:paleoecologic analysis
