Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:gray wackestone
Secondary lithology: "limestone"
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: "Sublittoral, shallow water environments characterized by carbonate muds and a very stenotopic fauna. Dark-gray and gray, granular wackestone interbedded with laminated, dolomitic and algal limestone. The fauna occurs chiefly in the wackestone."
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: "[Set of three related communities, of which this is one] developed on an extensive, differentiated shoal in littoral-sublittoral environments subject to algal and carbonate ooze sedimentation. [For this community]: all fossils buried in situ, and show no evidence of transportation. Probably BA 2-3."
