Stratigraphy
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Strunian (Etroeungt); collection is a series of beds collectively referred to as "71". See Michels (PBDB ref. 10268).
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: calcareous "shale"
Secondary lithology: lime mudstone
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: Entire sequence consists of 300 m of micrite, siltstone, sandstone, shale, and calcareous shale, and some micrite and oomicrite, mostly high in the section (above bed 71).
Environment:marine indet.
Taphonomy
Collection methods and comments
Collection excludes:some macrofossils
Reason for describing collection:taxonomic analysis
Taxonomic list comments:Michels gives greater stratigraphic resolution, so I have used his monograph for other faunal elements. Amler et al. is used for bivalves because it includes some revision.
