Stratigraphy
Geological group: | Pitt Island | Formation: | Kahuitara Tuff | ||
Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Pitt Island Group includes Kahuitara Tuff, Southern Volcanics, and an unamed Haumurian limestone. The Kahuitara Tuff rests unconformably upon the Tupuangi Formation and passes into the Southern Volcanics without disconformity. THICKNESS: Maximum thickness of 225 m. AGE: Early Haumurian. To avoid orphaning the collection is placed into the Campanian (=early Haumurian) |
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | coarse,pebbly,tuffaceous lithified sandstone |
Includes fossils? | Y |
Lithology description: SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Pebbly, coarse tuffaceous sandstone, compact. LITHIFICATION: Presumably lithified as stated to be "compact" | |
Environment: | transition zone/lower shoreface |
Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: Inner shelf, open marine environment, near normal salinity, water depths ranging from 5-50 m. |
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation: | body |
Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
Collection methods: | field collection |
Reason for describing collection: | biostratigraphic analysis |
Collection method comments: COLLECTOR: Unknown abbreviations (MAC, 1977). REPOSITORY: Presumably reposited in the New Zealand Geological Survey collections (now GNS Science), Lower Hutt, New Zealand | |
Taxonomic list comments:COMPLETENESS: Exhaustive from macrofaunal groups. NOMENCLATURE: Not an authoritative publication, but identified by specialists and reported with modern nomenclature. |
