Stratigraphy
Formation: | Thomas | ||||
Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: "Miocene (Ototaran)". Ototaran has been replaced by Kaitaian, Runangan, and Whaingaroan (Eocene-Oligocene, rather than Miocene). Tegulorhynchia material from type area comes from Whaingaroan strata (Lee, 1980). |

Primary lithology: | lithified "limestone" |
Lithology description: Lithified based on fossil preservation and description of formation in Gage (1970) as "hard limestone alternating with basaltic tuff." | |
Environment: | carbonate indet. |
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation: | body |
Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
