Stratigraphy
Formation:Rykhta Suite
Stratigraphic resolution:formation
Stratigraphy comments: Upper part of Rhykta suite of the Malinovtsy series (uppermost part of Ulichian superhorizon).
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: "mixed carbonate-siliciclastic"
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: "unbedded rock" [stratigraphic context discussed elsewhere in this paper suggests mixed carbonate-siliciclastic]
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: "Occurrence in Podolia of small, scattered, articulated shells in unbedded rock suggests quiet water, muddy substrate. A BA 2-3 position is reasonable, as judged from both Podolian circumstances, and from the situation of this community elsewhere."
Taphonomy
Collection methods and comments
Reason for describing collection:paleoecologic analysis
