Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Buckingham |
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | "reef rocks" |
| Environment: | perireef or subreef |
| Geology comments: This zone encompassed the fore-reef and reef crest and represented a high energy environment. Massive coralline algae growths formed the main reef framework in this zone and provided the substrate for a rich fauna of limpet and limpet-like gastropods. | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils,mesofossils,microfossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Reason for describing collection: | general faunal/floral analysis |
