Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | pebbly lithified mudstone |
Lithology description: Moderate to thickly bedded mudstone which is dark gray to greenish in color. The basal part of this mudstone grades into siltstone or fine sandstone which is relatively richer in fossil content. Beside this poorly graded bedding at its base, the rest of the mudstone seems to be massive and structureless. Rare and isolated small pebbles and fossils are randomly distributed within this massive mudstone. | |
Environment: | marine indet. |
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation: | mold/impression |
Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
Reason for describing collection: | general faunal/floral analysis |
