Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:shelly/skeletal lime mudstone

Includes fossils?Y
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: "...bivalves preeserved in biomicritic to biodetrital, dark limestone with abundant nektobenthic cephalopod shells..."
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: Cephalopods current-oriented. Semi-infaunal forms rare. "The environment was shallow water, subtidal; oriented cephalopod shells document stronger current activity, but preservation of the bivalves and cephalopods shows that the bottom was free from stronger wave action."
Taphonomy
Collection methods and comments
Collection excludes:some macrofossils
Reason for describing collection:paleoecologic analysis
Collection method comments: Life mode and abundance of bivalves given (table 16.21). Only bivalves explicitly said to occur at type locality, but I have included a few other elements (two trilobite genera) under assumption that they are also present at type locality.
Taxonomic list comments:Bivalves are the focus; other taxa mentioned but not listed fully.
