Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | "cross stratification",burrows,fine,red,white poorly lithified sandstone |
Includes fossils? | Y |
Lithology description: "yellowish-white sandstones"; "Tugrik sandstones are compositionally and texturally sub-mature. They are generally poorly consolidated, moderately well-sorted, fine-grained, sub-rounded to well-rounded, and present a 'frosted' appearance. Colors vary from pink (induced by minor amounts of hematite), to white, reflecting the absence of any hematitie or other coloring agent." | |
Environment: | dune |
Geology comments: eolian dune, erg |
