Coordinates: 37.9° North, 81.5° West (view map)
Paleocoordinates:14.9° South, 25.0° West
Basis of coordinate:estimated from map
Geographic resolution:local area
Time
Period: Carboniferous Epoch: Mississippian
Stage: Serpukhovian 10 m.y. bin: Carboniferous 3
Key time interval: Serpukhovian
Age range of interval: 330.9 - 323.2 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Hinton Member:Little Stone Gap
Stratigraphic resolution:member
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: lithified "carbonate"
Secondary lithology: "shale"
Includes fossils?Y
Includes fossils?Y
Environment:offshore Tectonic setting:foreland basin
Geology comments: this is a thin carbonate-rich member in an otherwise siliciclastic unit; represents temporary shutoff of siciclastic sed., possible due to SL rise
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation:body,mold/impression
Preservation of anatomical detail:poor
Collection methods and comments
Collection excludes:some macrofossils
Collection methods:survey of museum collection
Reason for describing collection:taxonomic analysis
Museum repositories:USNM
Collection method comments: This is not a collection per se, but is instead a summary of the Bivalvia known from this unit in southern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia; spatial resolution is therefore VERY POOR, but stratigraphic and temporal control is very good
