Stratigraphy
Formation: | Runningwater | ||||
Stratigraphic resolution: | member | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: "early Hemingfordian"; "low-mid" part of formation |
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | sandstone |
Secondary lithology: | conglomerate |
Lithology description: "Fluvial lithofacies... predominantly epiclastic sand and gravel" | |
Environment: | fluvial indet. |
Geology comments: "deposited by a large meandering river" |
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation: | body |
Size of fossils: | mesofossils |
Collection methods and comments
Collection methods: | bulk,sieve,field collection,survey of museum collection |
Reason for describing collection: | biostratigraphic analysis |
Museum repositories: | UNSM |
Collection method comments: "Most of the local faunas listed are the result of test-screening sand and gravel lenses and sorting between 45 and 136 kg of concentrate" (apparently at each site) | |
Taxonomic list comments:composite of six collections from isolated outcrops; some of this material comes from UNSM Cr-23 = Aletomeryx Quarry, but virtually all of it comprises small mammals and probably derives from new collections by Bailey, so I have not tried to separate out taxa that might belong to this collection |
