Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:pyritic "shale"
Lithology description: "...found below storm wave base in very shaly strata."
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: "...below storm wave base...bracketed by Dicoelosia osloensis-Rhinopora malmoeensis Comm., indicating same BA 5 position as this Comm. ... High pyrite content and coalified organic remains (black smears and unidentifiable flakes) make indicate a low oxygen, restrictive environment."
