Time
Period: Carboniferous Epoch: Pennsylvanian

Stratigraphy
Formation:Wild Cow Member:Pine Shadow
Stratigraphy comments: Wild Cow Formation, which is composed of rhythmic sequences of arkosic sandstone, gray, tan, and red shale, and gray marine limestone of Missourian to earliest Wolfcamian age. Myers (1973, 1988) recognized three members of the Wild Cow, in ascending order Sol de Mete, Pine Shadow, and La Casa. About 28 m of the Pine Shadow Member (lower Virgilian) are exposed in the Kinney Quarry... the member consiste generally of gray marine limstones alternating with marine or nonmarine shale, sandstone, and conglomerate. Lateral facies changes within the Pine Shadow Member are pronounced...early Virgilian age is based on studies of fusulinids.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: "limestone"
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: Thickness: 0.1 m Fig. 5: shaly limestone; olive black (5 Y 2/1), mottled and streaked grayish orange (10 YR 7/4); well indurated; highly fossiliferous text: basal limestone becomes more platy to laminar, and more argillaceous through an interval of approx. 10 cm, most major elements of the limestone fauna disappear through this transition zone and are absent from the overlying shale (unit 3) ref #75170: clayey, laminated micrite; organic-rich ref #75181: thickness ranges from 6-14 cm; well laminated throughout, breaks readily along these laminations, laminations not truncated by burrow, some laminations are crudely graded from microspar and shell hash at base to organic-rich micrite at top
Environment:lagoonal/restricted shallow subtidal
Geology comments: deposition in conditions of lowered salinity; deposition occurred in quiet, possibly oxygen-poor waters with restricted circulation; conection with normal marine environments persisted
ref #75181: increasing dominance of rapid siliciclastic deposition in a tidal environment
ref #75238: ostracods are characteristic of a mixed mear-shore -marine and brackish-water fauna that appears to have become less marine above the basal limestone
