Stratigraphy
Geological group: | Black Rock Limestone | Formation: | Friars Point Limestone | ||
Stratigraphic resolution: | formation | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: On a regional basis the lower-middle beds of the Friars Point Limestone span parts of the Zaphrentites delanouei - Caninophyllum patulum coral assemblage biozones of Ramsbottom and Mitchell (1980). These data place the Ty-nant fauna within the mid–upper part of the Tournaisian Series, probably close to the Tn2⁄Tn3 boundary of Belgian notation (i.e. close to the Hastarian-Ivorian Stage boundary; Conil et al. 1977). |
