AGE: Stage designation not stated in publication, initailly entered as "Dyeran"; from middle Olenellus zone. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From float in section.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:dolomitic,gray lithified siltstone
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). LITHIFICATION: Lithified, on the basis of figured specimens, facies descriptions, and sample preparation.
Environment:slope
Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: The limestone-bearing part of the E-Bar locality represents one of the most proximal, dark siltstone facies in the Lower Cambrian slope facies of the Taconic allochthon.
