Stratigraphy
| Geological group: | Bertie | Formation: | Fiddlers Green | Member: | Phelps |
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds |
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | dolomitic,gray lithified lime mudstone |
| Environment: | lagoonal/restricted shallow subtidal |
| Geology comments: The stratigraphic sections and the fossil content suggest that it was deposited in a near-shore marine setting, but the evaporites and casts of halite pseudomorphs with sides of up to 30 cm suggest the environment was far from normal marine; hypersalinity must have prevailed throughout most of the depositional history of the Bertie Group. | |
