Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Clayton | Member: | Pine Barren | ||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: From the "Turritella Rock" which belongs to the upper part of NP2, and the mid-upper part of P1a (Schulte & Speijer 2009). | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | glauconitic,gray lithified sandy packstone |
| Lithology description: lithology described as grey to pale orange glauconitic, sandy, crystalline fossiliferous limestone | |
| Environment: | open shallow subtidal |
| Geology comments: Schulte & Speijer 2009: Some cement within the Turritella Rock suggests occasional emersion. Planktonic foraminifera are nearly absent, suggesting very shallow environment. Sandy bioclastic packstone (e.g., Turritella Rock) accumulated in shallow, inner neritic settings. | |
