| Lithology description: "At the quarry site, the Coachman Formation was entirely subsurface, but core samples taken at the quarry floor show mixed detrital sediments, predominately dark claystone beds interbedded with well-sorted, glauconitic, fine quartz sandstone in flaser beds ranging from a few millimeters to 2.0 cm in thickness" "Stiff, black...silty clay matrix with common to abundant dark greenish grey (5GY 4/1) well sorted, very fine to fine quartz sand in flaser beds a few mm to 2 cm thick." Fossils are concentrated in the overlying Pliocene beds as a transgressive lag. | |||
