Age range of interval: 154.8 - 149.2 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Abadia
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Serra Isabel level 30-40 m below the top of the formation
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: lithified "reef rocks"
Secondary lithology: lithified marl
Lithology description: 2 subfacies can be differentiated: crinoid-thrombolite mounds and coral dominated associations, which surround the crinoid mounds. The association occurs in a 250 cm thick unit of clayey marls with some thin, partly silty and strongly ferruginous calcareous marlstones.
Environment:reef, buildup or bioherm
Geology comments: open marine habitat on a slope situated within the lower photic zone and below storm wave base
Taphonomy
Size of fossils:macrofossils,mesofossils,microfossils
Collection methods and comments
Collection methods:peel or thin section,field collection
Reason for describing collection:paleoecologic analysis
