Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Cockhill Marine Band | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | member | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: "the complete fossiliferous horizon is more suitably termed the 'Cockhill Marine Band'...the term 'Cockhill Limestone' is retained but restricted to the band of fossiliferous limestone or limestone nodules where present." | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | concretionary,shelly/skeletal lithified calcareous,carbonaceous mudstone |
| Secondary lithology: | wackestone |
| Lithology description: fossiliferous black shale...carbonaceous shale...medium grained sandstone...orange mud...gingerbread crinoidal sandstone...nodular limestone in black calcareous mudstone | |
| Environment: | marine indet. |
| Geology comments: Paleoenvironment could possibly be paralic or deltaic. There are a lot of preserved wood fragments and other plant remains. It was definitely near-shore, also definitely marine (according to the authors). | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
