Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:fine,shelly/skeletal lithified calcareous sandstone
Lithology description: The sandstone is calcareous and fine- to medium-grained, but becomes coarse-grained in some parts. It contains several layers, which yield a number of granular (sometimes fine pebbly) calcareous debris such as brachiopods, bryozoans, crinoids, and fusulines. They are usually weathered and dissolved, showing porous occurrence on the surface. Sand grains are mainly of volcaniclastic, lithic, and calcareous fragments and subangular quartz particles.
Environment:marine indet.
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation:body,mold/impression
Size of fossils:microfossils
Collection methods and comments

Reason for describing collection:taxonomic analysis
Collectors:T. Shintani
Collection method comments: Repository: Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Niigata University, with prefix NU-F (fusulinids) or NU-B (brachiopods).
