Lithology and environment

Primary lithology:	gray,blue marl
Includes fossils?	Y
Lithology description: The marlstones are dark blue-grey in colour, but weather to a very much paler hue
Environment:	lagoonal/restricted shallow subtidal
Geology comments: The sediments of the G.E.S. were probably laid down in large, quiet, shallow, warm lagoons, not open directly to the sea, with the sandy beds of the succession indicating river deltas.
