Stratigraphy
Formation:Hemse Beds
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Correlation from Jeppsson (1983), Fossils and Strata 15:128
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: "carbonate"
Environment:carbonate indet. Tectonic setting:cratonic basin
Geology comments: SEP: based on this reference, it is impossible to tell which of the three principal environments (deep subtidal, biohermal/open shallow subtidal, or restricted shallow subtidal) represented by the Hemsa beds are the source of data. It is likely to be all three.
