Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: "limestone"
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: Allocthonous deposits. General geological setting interpreted as island arc, in which shelly fossiliferous units represent carbonate banks and reefs. In some places these are associated with plant-bearing or graptolite-bearing shales.
Taphonomy

Collection methods and comments
Reason for describing collection:paleoecologic analysis
Museum repositories:USGS
Collectors:Eberlein Collection dates:1947
Collection method comments: Predominantly material collected by Savage after initial report of Amsden (1952), which Savage believes was mistaken in reporting Atrypella from this locality.
