Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Kamicharo | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From Kamicharo Fm, which overlies the Nuibetsu Fm (Oligocene) of the Ombetsu Gp, and is overlain by the Atsunai Fm of the Atsunai Gp; correlative unit of the Tokomuro Fm. THICKNESS: From bed with formation that attains a thickness of 180 m. AGE: Early Miocene on the basis of molluscan biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Unknown position within formation. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | tuffaceous,gray lithified sandy siltstone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Alternating beds of gray siltstone, sandstone, sandy tuff, and hard shale. LITHIFICATION: Lithified, on the basis of facies description. | |
| Environment: | offshore |
| Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: Assemblage appears to be derived from an offshore shelf siliciclastic environment. TEMPERATURE: Stratigraphically adjacent pollen floras indicate a cool-temperate environment. | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
