Stratigraphy comments: Microvertebrate sites of Brinkman (1990) are "...placed in stratigraphic sequence by reference to a disconformity located about sixty meters below the base of the Lethbridge Coal (Eberth, 1990). The stratigraphic position of each site is expressed in terms of meteres above or below the disconformity (Fig. 2, Brinkman, 1990)" where positive numbers are above and negative below. |
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | very fine,fine carbonaceous sandstone |
Lithology description: BB 100 occurs in what appears to be a lateral "wing" of a 2.75 m thick sandstone body. Microfossils are concentrated in a 45 cm thick bed of poorly-sorted, contorted, very fine-to-fine-grained sandstone. Carbonaceous fragments are abundant. | |
Environment: | crevasse splay |
Glacial or sequence phase: | transgressive |
Geology comments: Splay deposits typically comprise stacked sequences of interlaminated sands and siltstones separated by erosional surfaces, thus indicating repeated flooding and aggradation. |
