Lithology and environment
Lithology description: 'This crevice was about 1-1.5m wide and as high as 30m. The upper part of the karstic formation was filled with dark red clay, the lower with more yellowish clay, occasionally cemented with calcite spots.'
Environment:fissure fill
Geology comments: Locality 7 is a 'classical' tectonic fissure.
Taphonomy
Size of fossils:macrofossils,mesofossils
Collection methods and comments
Collection methods:bulk,field collection
Reason for describing collection:biostratigraphic analysis
Collection method comments: Although layers were observed in the deposits, 'commercial quarrying and the narrow width of the cleft' meant that collection by layer was not possible. It was excavated from1955 to 1975.
