Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | lithified framestone |
| Environment: | reef, buildup or bioherm |
| Glacial or sequence phase: | interglacial |
| Geology comments: evidence of subaerial exposure, such as rhizomorphs, and subsequent marine borings | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body,original aragonite |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
| Preservation of anatomical detail: | excellent |
| Abundance in sediment: | abundant |
| Spatial resolution: | autochthonous |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection methods: | bulk,surface (in situ),field collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | paleoecologic analysis |
| Collection method comments: JA: the three collections together came from "twenty-one quadrats" each of "0.5-m2... separated into 50-decimeter2 areas... organized as 10 rows and 5 columns": because area and not volume measures are reported, the samples are apparently surface in situ and not screened | |
