Stratigraphy
| Geological group: | Hinglaj | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Hinglaj Group, which unconformably overlies the Parkini Mudstone, and is unconformably overlain by the Haro Conglomerate. THICKNESS: Unknown thickness. AGE: Miocene [Late]-Pliocene, based on faunal affinity. Assigned by the enterer to an intermediate age of Pliocene, from which most macrofossils share affinity. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: A composite list for the entire group. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | "cross stratification",planar lamination,ferruginous,brown,gray,yellow unlithified argillaceous,conglomeratic sandstone |
| Secondary lithology: | shelly/skeletal,gray,blue poorly lithified "limestone" |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Mainly sandstone, with subordinate conglomerate, clayey shale, and shelly limestone. The sandstone is "salt-and-pepper" protoquartzite that is grey to pale-yellowish brown on fresh surfaces. Most of the sandstone is extremely soft, although many beds have a hard ferruginous crust. The beds are well laminated to massive and are up to 20 ft thick. Cross-bedding is spectacularly abundant, ripple-marks and worm trails are common. Beds of shelly limestone are soft, light colored, and porous, but others are tough-breaking, blue-grey, and dense. They are up to 10 ft thick and weather ferruginous brown. LITHIFICATION: Unlithified, on the basis on facies description. | |
