Stratigraphy
Formation:Waldron Shale
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: "Middle Wenlockian. In Tenn. the equiv. portion of the Waldron Member, Wayne Formation, is mostly in the Kockelella amsdeni Zone." Unit 4 (from bottom) of Frest (1977), which is one of five units within the basal 1 m of the Waldron.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:shelly/skeletal argillaceous "limestone"
Secondary lithology: calcareous "shale"
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: "fossils most concentrated within and near the more strongly carbonate, skeletal debris-rich thin limestones of units 2 and 4..." No specific fabric details given for unit 4. Figure 45.3 indicates "shaley limestone" and "calcareous shale/siltstone"
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: "Most calyces spar filled..root systems and holdfasts common...fossils most concentrated within and near more strongly carbonate, skeletal debris-rich thin limestones of units 2 and 4, but are also concentrated in unit 4 near the tops of underlying masses of algal limestone, which, however, do not originate in this unit...most likely outer BA 3 to inner BA 4..."
