Stratigraphy
Stratigraphy comments: Monograptus bouceki-M. perneri biozones.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: calcareous mudstone
Lithology description: "Disarticulated adult and juvenile shells formed clumps on bedding planes of dark, calcareous mudstone."
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: "Very high density but low diversity population of one species only...Environment shallow, certainly below wave base, subtidal. Individuals attached to each other or to the sea bottom."
Taphonomy
Collection methods and comments
Collection excludes:some macrofossils
Reason for describing collection:paleoecologic analysis
Collection method comments: Despite distribution, text seems to imply that all faunal elements are found at type locality.
Taxonomic list comments:Because of the vertical spread of these beds, it is not possible to tell with certainty from ref. 6630 which graptolites are present.
