Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | medium,gray lithified grainstone |
| Secondary lithology: | fine lithified sandstone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: Calcisiltite, medium gray, weathering pale yellowish brown, fine quartz sandy, thin bedded, slope forming, with some thin beds of calcarenite and intraformational conglomerate [i.e., flat-pebble conglomerate?] | |
| Environment: | deep subtidal ramp |
| Geology comments: Mulitple sources indicate that this was a carbonate dominated ramp, with substantial siliciclastic input, below normal wave base, above storm wave base. | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | replaced with silica |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection excludes: | some macrofossils,some microfossils |
| Collection methods: | field collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | biostratigraphic analysis |
| Taxonomic list comments:The faunal lists in Hintze 1952 are updated versions of those in Hintze 1951 and, so, are used here. | |
