Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: calcareous "shale"
Secondary lithology:shelly/skeletal argillaceous "limestone"
Includes fossils?Y
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: "Occurs in calcareous shale and biohermal, coral-algal limestone, plus polydetrital, slightly argillaceous limestone."
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: "interpreted as a shallow bar, closed shelf, outer part of a lagoon. Disarticulated nature of trilobites [and brachiopods] indicates normal turbulence. Brachiopods are dominant in the marls, whereas stromatoporoids and corals dominate in the limestones. A BA 2, photic zone unit [biota also includes algae]."
