Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | mudstone |
Lithology description: [None given. See geology comments. Occurrences include Orthonota Mudstones] | |
Environment: | marine indet. |
Geology comments: "Increased sediment probably made life difficult for the epifaunal brachiopods but less so for infaunal bivalves, such as Fuchsella, and nektic cephalopods. This is a BA 2 unit. Shells disarticulated." |
