Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | gypsiferous,pebbly,shelly/skeletal claystone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: above horizon B, the clay becomes darker in texture, it is coarse and gritty owing to the presence of numerous subangular pebbles incorporated with the finer argillaceous material, the upper limit is devined by a layer of septaria. | |
| Environment: | marine indet. |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection methods: | field collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
| Collection method comments: In the introduction, Burton says that he is reporting fauna "the horizons of which are known to the author", and states that he has collected 480 specimens. It is also clear that he is pulling from other sources, some published (in difficult to obtain British journals), some not. It's difficult to tell which are his and which aren't. This is not a definitive source for this collection, but I think it's a reasonable place to start. | |
