Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Greenhorn Limestone | Member: | Bridge Creek | ||
| Local section: | C2 | Local bed: | 11 (Units 15-17) | ||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Upper Cenomanian. Bed horizon is the sample number not the lithologic unit number. The lithologic unit numbers that correspond to the sample numbers given can be found in reference for collection (Elder, 87). | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | gray lithified "shale" | ||
| Environment: | marine indet. | Tectonic setting: | cratonic basin |
| Geology comments: Well indurated, marly, laminar. Note: Section C2 constitutes interbedded limestones and shales, but this sedimentary structure is not reflected in the descriptions of each collection, as each is often a single bed, or a portion thereof. | |||
