Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | "siliciclastic" |
| Lithology description: [None given. See geology comments. These, together with the fact that most PBDB collections from Lower Bringewood Beds are siltstones, suggests siliciclastic lithology.] | |
| Environment: | marine indet. |
| Geology comments: "Delta facies. Largely in a fluvially dominated distributary channel environment but within reach of tidal influences. The shells were probably swept in together from a nearby littoral area of variable salinity. Probably BA 2, judging from the brachiopods, with the bivalves possibly representing BA 1 or 2 (our present ignorance of Silurian-Devonian bivalve community paleoecology precludes certainty)." "Assemblage probably transported." | |

Collection methods and comments
