Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: sandstone
Secondary lithology: marl
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: Santa Cruz Formation (290m, mainly shales and sandstones and a few limestone horizons). This begins with 75m of fine argilalceous shales (member d3a)...From the top of the shaly member d3a onward, four characteristic rhythmothems can be observed (d3b through d3c). The calcareous levels at the rhythmothem bases contain phosphorite and abundant fish scales and thus correspond to short-lasting condensations...[d3b-beta is marly lower down and arenaceous higher up]
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: See lithology.
