Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | planar lamination,diatomaceous lithified calcareous mudstone | ||
| Lithology description: Horizontally laminated diatomaceous carbonate siltstone | |||
| Environment: | lagoonal/restricted shallow subtidal | Tectonic setting: | rift |
| Geology comments: Variable salinities but present of marine taxa (scyphozoa, fish, bivalves) indicates predominantly marine environment. Semi-enclosed depositional environment in which the stratified water body, shallow depths, and soft bottom represented prerequisites for development of hypoxia and anoxia. | |||
