| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Rounded travertine pebbles and occasional rolled corals in a corase brown shell sand. LITHIFICATION: Unlithified, assumed to be unlithified give age and as text states sediment to be soft. | |
| Environment: | shoreface |
| Glacial or sequence phase: | transgressive |
| Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: Mixed assemblage of taxa from ipen rocky shore or reef flat, sandy beach with moderate exposure, and sheltered shallow marine gulf habitats. Here, assigned to a siliciclastic "shoreface" environment. SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY: Accumulated during Late Pleistocene sea-level rise. | |
