Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:dolomitic,gray lithified siltstone
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: LITHOLOGY: Dark grey debris flow, siltstone granule- to pebble-dominated with dolomitic matrix, with pebbles to boulders of echinoderm-intraclast granule pack- to grainstone (large ellipse) and calcareous siltstone (small ellipse).
