10 m.y. bin: | Silurian 2 |
| Key time interval: | Pridoli |
| Age range of interval: | 423 - 419.2 m.y. ago |
| 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. |
