Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | sandstone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: Sa'ad Formation: 80m, mainly quartz arenite with anhydritic cement; coaly shales, mud cracks and plant remains appear in places; few layers of limestone and dolostone. (this sample was taken from a sandstone layer) (this layer was taken from a layer) | |
| Environment: | fluvial indet. |
| Geology comments: Abundance of sandstone and plant remains suggest a fluviatile environment, the coaly material deposited in the swamps. | |
