Stratigraphy
| Geological group: | Tokarahi | Formation: | Tapui Glauconitic Sandstone | Member: | Incholme Glauconitic Sand |
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From Incholme Glauconitic Sand Mbr of the Tapui Glauconitic Sand Fm, immediately overlying the Kauru Fm (Teurian), and overlain locally by Raki Siltstone (Kaiatan). AGE: upper Bortonian of Gage (1957) = Bartonian. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From upper member within the formation. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | fine,glauconitic,micaceous lithified calcareous,carbonaceous sandstone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Fine calcareous micaceous sand, with fine glauconite and unusually fine, disseminated carbonaceous material. LITHIFICATION: Presumably lithified, based on facies description (detailed in Gage 1957), taphonomy, and age. | |
| Environment: | offshore |
| Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: Deposited in still water beyond reach of strong wave action. | |

| Modes of preservation: | body,cast,mold/impression,concretion |
| Degree of concentration: | dispersed |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
| Abundance in sediment: | common |

| Collection excludes: | all microfossils |
| 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 and O.P Olson(NZGS). NOMENCLATURE: Somewhat antiquated but identified by specialist and often to subgeneric and species resolution. | |
