Stratigraphy
Formation:Hina Limestone
Stratigraphic resolution:member
Stratigraphy comments: Endothyra zone to Mediocris mediocris zone
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: "limestone"
Environment:reef, buildup or bioherm
Taphonomy
Size of fossils:macrofossils
Collection methods and comments
Collection methods:selective quarrying,peel or thin section
Reason for describing collection:general faunal/floral analysis
Collection method comments: Most materials treated in this study were collected as float pebbles and cobbles along the Shigi-gawa River, which traverses the the Hina Limestone masses in a north-south direction. The sampling took place in the Kamishigi region of Shitsuki-gun, Yoshii-cho, Okayama Prefecture. All float specimens came from the Hina Limestone, although several specimens were collected directly from outcrops that belong to the Endothyra Zone through Mediocris mediocris zone of MATSUE
