Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | glauconitic,phosphatic,red or brown silty lime mudstone |
| Lithology description: unit 2 (0.00-1.75m) a sharp boundary, indicating an erosional unconformity, separates units 1 and 2. the interval 0.00-0.70 m is a homogeneous, silty mud of dark brown color (10 yr 2/2). no burrows were observed. at the base black phosphorites (maximum size about 6 cm) are frequent; some glaucontite is present in the sediment. the interval 0.70-0.90 m is a green, strongly glaucontitic sand with pyrite and phosphorites, overlain from 0.90 to 1.70 m by a silty mud with upwards increasing glauconite content. from 1.70 to 1.75 m a glauconitic snad is present with rather small phosphorites (1-2 cm) and pyrite-filled burrows. macrofossils are common in unit 2, but for the greater part irregularly distributed in pockets. the molluscan treated in this paper originates especially from the interval 0.00-0.70 m, in which large specimens have been collected. in the interval 0.70-0.90 m thin-shelled bivalves are frequent. the number of fossils decreases upwards, where the shells often are decalcified as a result of pyrite oxidation, resulting in a preservation as casts or moulds. | |
| Environment: | offshore |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body,cast,original aragonite |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection excludes: | all microfossils,some macrofossils |
| Reason for describing collection: | paleoecologic analysis |
| Taxonomic list comments:Includes only mollusc species abundance categories as follows: 1 ==> 1/2-1 specimens 2 ==> 2-3 specimens 3 ==> 4-10 specimens 4 ==> 11-40 specimens 5 ==> 41-125 specimens 6 ==> 126-350 specimens 7 ==> 351-1000 specimens number of scaphopods estimated; one valve of a bivalve = 1/2 specimen | |
