Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Kauru | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: "basal facies of Kauru Formation within a few millimeteres of the contact with the underlying Haast Schist... Probably middle to upper 'Wangaloan' Stage, equivalent to middle? Paleocene" | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | lithified conglomeratic sandstone |
| Lithology description: "conglomeratic sandstone... poorly sorted with cobble-sized clasts up to 40 mm in diameter"; lithified based on preservation of figured specimens | |
| Environment: | shoreface |
| Geology comments: "a high energy, shallow-water environment... probably mid-shelf, less than 100 m and above storm wave base" | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
| Temporal resolution: | snapshot |
| Spatial resolution: | parautochthonous |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection methods: | field collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | general faunal/floral analysis |
| Collection method comments: Otago University collection | |
| Taxonomic list comments:bivalves (including oysters) and gastropods are also present; a detailed list for the "basal facies" of the formation apparently does not apply to this exact collection | |
