Stratigraphy
Formation:English River
Stratigraphic resolution:formation
Stratigraphy comments: The English River Sandstone is offered as a comparison for the Glen Park Formation. It is assumed that the stratigraphic position of the two formations are equivalent but that they occur in different geographic regions. A full description for the English River is not given in Carter, 1988.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: sandstone
Environment:marine indet.
Taphonomy
Collection methods and comments
Collection excludes:some macrofossils
Reason for describing collection:taxonomic analysis
Collection method comments: It is unclear what type of collection is represented by the fauna for the English River. Although Carter had described all other collections from museum collections, he did not indicate where the data from this list originated.
Taxonomic list comments:brachiopod taxa, only
