| Lithology description: Bed 39, an approximately 1-mt hick (3-ft-thick) dark-gray shale unit, and bed 40, a 1.15-m-thick (3.5-ft-thick) interval of thin ledge-forming light-gray to locally nodular limestone and dark-gray to brown-weathering calcareous shale/argillaceous limestone, are the sources of most, if not all, of the fossils in this second assemblage. | |
| Environment: | carbonate indet. |
| Geology comments: The Holder Formation along Dry Canyon consists of a cyclic succession of Virgilian marine siliciclastics, marine carbonates, and nonmarine siliciclastics, including a large basal algal bioherm complex, deposited on a narrow shelf just west of the shoreline of the Pedernal land mass. | |
