Stratigraphy
Geological group: | Fuchsia | Formation: | Kauru | ||

Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From Kauru Fm, either locally overlying Kakanui Metamorphic Group (Paleozoic) or Papakaio Fm (Piripauan), and overlain locally by Tapui Glauconitic Sandstone (Bortonian). AGE: upper part of Wangaloan of Gage (1957) (disused according to Cooper et al. 2004) = ?late Teurian (current NZ stage usage) = Selandian-Thanetian. |
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | lithified sandstone |
Includes fossils? | Y |
Lithology description: SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Sandstone. LITHIFICATION: Presumably lithified, based on age and locally concretionary facies. | |
Environment: | offshore |
Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: Deposited with gentle currents within depths out of reach of strong wave action. |
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation: | body |
Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
Collection methods: | selective quarrying,field collection |
Reason for describing collection: | biostratigraphic analysis |
Museum repositories: | IGNS |
Collection method comments: COLLECTOR: Collected by various authors, which may include: Marwick (1924-1944), Laws (1930-1941), and Powell (1942). REPOSITORY: New Zealand Geological Survey (now GNS Science, Lower Hutt, New Zealand). | |
Taxonomic list comments:COVERAGE: Exhaustive for bivalvia, gastropoda, and brachiopoda. IDENTIFIER: J.A. Marwick (NZGS). NOMENCLATURE: Somewhat antiquated but identified by specialist and often to subgeneric and species resolution. |
