Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | gray,white silty,sandy marl |
Includes fossils? | Y |
Lithology description: The Caloosahatchee marl consists predominantly of shells, sand, and silt. Fresh unweathered exposures are generally pale cream-colored to light gray, although green clay marls have been included in the formation. The sand and shell variations of the Caloosahatchee marl can be separated from the marine formations of Pleistocene age only by identification of the mollusk faunas. | |
Environment: | marine indet. |
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation: | body |
Size of fossils: | mesofossils |
Collection methods and comments
Collection methods: | core |
Reason for describing collection: | general faunal/floral analysis |
Collection method comments: observed from cores |
