Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:shelly/skeletal argillaceous lime mudstone

Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: "In the type area...[the community] is confined to micritic and biodetrital limestones with thin calcareous shale intercalations...
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: "This fauna is so similar to that of the Prionopeltis archiaci-Atrypoidea modesta Comm. that we may supposse nearly the same, low energy, shallow water environment in BA 3 (probably shallow 3 at that) for both." But, they also state, "The minute brachiopods Dicoelosia, Skeinidoides [and others] have been collected from argillaceous limestone intercalations...The Dicoelosia and Skenidioides containing A. fecunda-C.postera Comm. is confined to BA 4-5, and was affected in places by current activity as suggested by the presence of disarticulate shells [but there are also articulated shells]." (According to their BA diagram, they see this community as spread quite a bit environmentally.)
