Stratigraphy
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | pyritic,sideritic carbonaceous siltstone |
| Secondary lithology: | claystone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: "a plant debris bed" in a siltstone | |
| Environment: | alluvial fan |
| Geology comments: The palaeoenvironment has been interpreted as a sequence of alluvial meander plains, that overran the Wessex Sub-basin (Allen 1998), together with season- ally ephemeral lakes and ponds (Martill & Naish 2001). | |
