Stratigraphy
Stratigraphy comments: The interpretation of the Schlumberger logs by
PETROBRAS is apparently of a provisional character and shows many questional formation and member subdivisions. For these reasons these lithologic units are not used in order to avoid confusion with those established and published by PAMPLONA (1971). |
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | lithified argillaceous "shale" |
Secondary lithology: | lithified argillaceous sandstone |
Lithology description: The lithology of the lower ca. 825 metres consists mainly of shales alternating with some sandstones. | |
Environment: | terrestrial indet. |
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation: | soft parts,original sporopollenin |
Size of fossils: | microfossils |
Collection methods and comments
Collection excludes: | all microfossils |
Collection methods: | chemical,hydrochloric,hydroflouric,sieve |
Reason for describing collection: | biostratigraphic analysis |
