Stratigraphy
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | fine,concretionary,stromatolitic lithified argillaceous "limestone" | ||
Includes fossils? | Y | ||
Lithology description: "fine-grained, agrillaceous algal limestone"Krzeminski & Jarzembowski, 1999 The specimens occur mainly in blocks of Rhaetian limestone from the top of the section. | |||
Environment: | estuary/bay | Tectonic setting: | passive margin |
Geology comments: "These late Triassic deposits are marine marginal showing variable salinity (but never fully marine) …Contemporary dry land lay a short distance west across the estuary in South Wales." Krzeminski & Jarzembowski, 1999 |
