Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | gray,green siltstone |
| Secondary lithology: | sandy "limestone" |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: "At the type locality [community] occurs in fine- and medium-grained, quartzose sandstone interbedded with feldspathic, fine-grained sandstone, greenish-gray siltstone and claystone and calcareous sandstone with lenses of shelly sandstone. [Sandy limestone also mentioned. Fossils from siltstone, shelly, calcareous sandstone, and sandy limestone (corals)." | |
| Environment: | marine indet. |
| Geology comments: "The overall lithology...suggests a shallow water, normally turbulent environment somewhat removed from the coast itself. Coarse, terrigenous deposits are absent...BA2-3." | |
Taphonomy

| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection excludes: | some genera |
| Reason for describing collection: | paleoecologic analysis |
| Collection method comments: Community covers a broad geographic area. Only taxa explicitly said to occur at type locality are included. | |
| Taxonomic list comments:Emphasis of reference is on brachiopods. Other elements occasionally mentioned as well. | |
