Stratigraphy
Geological group:Madera Formation:Wild Cow Member:Pine Shadow
Local section:Kinney Quarry Local bed:1
Local order:bottom to top
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: The section of the quarry is part of the Pine Shadow Member of the Wild Cow Formation, Madera Group. The entire member has an average thickness of 70m in the Manzanita/Manzano Mountains, and has been reliably dated a s early to middle Virgilian on the basis of fusulinids described from localities elsewhere in these mountains. The dark limestone containing the marine fauna discussed here forms the floor of the quarry and is the basal unit (unit 1) of the stratigraphic section exposed in the quarry. Total thickness of this limestone unit is not known; it does not crop out significantly in areas immediately around the quarry. About 0.5 m is exposed in the quarry, and the upper 20 to 30 cm are widely present there.
According to Lucas et al., 2011: The Kinney conodont fauna is characterized by Idiognathodus corrugatus and I. cherryvalensis, which suggest an assignment to the Idiognathodus confragus Zone of the North America Midcontinent region (Dennis cyclothem; middle Missourian).
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:micaceous,black,gray lithified argillaceous "limestone"
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: The limestone is a hard, dense, splintery, dark-gray to black, argillaceous micrite rich in organic material and producing a faintly fetid odor when broken. it becomes platy to laminated and less clacareous through a 10 cm thick transitional zone (unit 2), above which the lithology becomes a soft, fissile, brown to gray shale with little calcium carbonate. Most of the characteristic marine invertebrates of the basal limestone disappear rather abruptly through the transition zone.
Environment:lagoonal/restricted shallow subtidal
Taphonomy
