Stratigraphy

Stratigraphy comments: Lower Bringewood equivalents (Grammysia Beds). |
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: "Interdistributary bay environment with a transported faunal assemblage from shallow nearshore waters probably with abnormal salinity. The brachiopods indicate a BA 2 assignment, while the bivalves although permissively consistent with it are less certain and might get into BA 1." |
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation: | body |
Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
Reason for describing collection: | paleoecologic analysis |
Collection method comments: Percent abundances are given. Author believes assemblage to be transported.
