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.
