Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | unlithified carbonaceous sandstone | ||
| Environment: | fine channel fill | Tectonic setting: | non-subsiding area |
| Geology comments: The sediments were laid down during the infilling of a depression on the floodplain of a large river. The site of deposition appears to have been a water body throughout the period of sedimentation with most of the infill deposited as a succession of sand-rich pulses from floodwater inflow from a nearby main channel of the river. Intervals of quiet-water sedimentation become more common and more sustained upward and the sedimentological and fossil evidence suggests that the water body was changing progressively in character. The dominance of running-water species in the insect fauna even in the upper part of the sequence suggests that the water body continued to serve as a subsidiary channel on the floodplain rather than becoming an enclosed pond. | |||
