Stratigraphy
Formation: | La Cabaña | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: "the La Cabana Formation includes various lithological units belonging to two depositional sequences....The base of the formation consists of a 70-110 cm thick orange limestone bed that overlies the tidal estuarine sand of the middle Cenomanian Latores Formation. The internal structure of this bed is a massive, porous basal limestone grading upward into a finely laminated, indurated limestone" "A 7-35 cm thick transgressive lag overlies this erosion surface. It is made of bioclastic sandy silt which includes some slabs...of caliche clasts with root traces" |
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | massive "limestone" |
Secondary lithology: | silty,sandy "limestone" |
Lithology description: "orange limestone....this bed is a massive, porous basal limestone grading upward into a finely laminated, indurated limestone....[and] bioclastic sandy silt" | |
Environment: | lagoonal |
Geology comments: "deposited in a marine coastal lagoon with tidally influenced channels. The base of the bed (and of the formation) represents a marine flooding surface which may be correlative with the maximum flooding surface of a sequence initiated in the Latores Formation." |

Preservation of anatomical detail: | good |
Spatial resolution: | parautochthonous |
Collection methods and comments
Collection methods: | bulk,surface (float),field collection |
Reason for describing collection: | general faunal/floral analysis |
Collection method comments: Unidad de Paleontologia of the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (will be stored in Faculdad de Geologia of the Universidad de Oviedo) |
