Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:peloidal,gray lithified "shale"
Secondary lithology: grainstone
Environment:interdistributary bay Tectonic setting:cratonic basin
Geology comments: This represents a subaqueous delta platform environment. The interdistributary mudstone facies is interpreted to have been deposited on the lee side of carbonate bank on the delta platform.

Collection methods and comments
Collection methods:bulk,chemical,mechanical,sieve,field collection
Reason for describing collection:paleoecologic analysis
Taxonomic list comments:The fanua at this locality are part of the interdistributary mudstone community of Ausich, Kammer, and Lane, 1979. See reference #557. This community has also been termed the equitable diversity community. Total numeric abundance is 47943. Total biovolume abundance is 756.1102.
