Stratigraphic resolution:member
Stratigraphy comments: Middle part of Leangen Mbr, best developed between 30 and 50 m in section.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:hummocky CS,pyritic "shale"
Secondary lithology: sandstone
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: "...occurs in thick mainly dark, very fissile shale beds, interlayered with thin to thick, fine sandstone beds."
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: "...Hummocky cross bedding, which only is created in teh transition zone or shallower waters, occurs and proximality analysis shows it ws deposited above storm wave base just above the lower limits of the transition zone...The BA position is 4, wtih a soft bottom indicated. The bottom was commonly reworked by storms...The dark shale is rick in organic material and much visible pyrite, and contains shells that are sometimes partly dissolved. This might mean that the bottom sediments, if not the bottom waters, were anoxic to dysaerobic at times."
