Stratigraphy
Formation: | Ponta Grossa Shale | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: Polar, "austral" fauna. Listed as Eifelian in age. Sampled over 3.7 meters |
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | fine,micaceous poorly lithified "shale" |
Secondary lithology: | lithified siltstone |
Lithology description: Finely-laminated, micaceous, soft, waxy, purplish and yellowish shale with minor interbedded siltstone and layers of fine-grained sandstone | |
Environment: | prodelta |
Geology comments: Caster mentions influence of glacio-fluvial deposition, but Simoes et al. (GSA 1998, 1999) talks both interpret the setting as "at (or below) storm wave base" in a "platformal environment". Petri and Fulfaro (GEOREF: 1966) mention lithology |
