Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Kallholn Shale | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Kallholn Shale, which directly overlies the Boda Limestone. AGE: Llandovery, on the basis of graptolite biozonation. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Exposed in a 5.5m section. In this succession two generations of stromatactis-bearing mudmounds are preserved with their flank deposits and onlapping shales bearing diverse shelly and grap- tolitic faunas | |||||
