Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | gray siltstone |
| Secondary lithology: | "cross stratification",red or brown sandstone |
| Lithology description: "Dark-gray siltstone associated with red sandstone and siltstone, with ripple marks, cross-laminations, and crack diapirs, and pseudo-nodules; carbonate concretions; fining upwards 'cyclothems'; tracks attributed to eurypterids have been found in the red siltstone." | |
| Environment: | fluvial indet. |
| Geology comments: "Turner (1974) interprets the Sundvollen Formation as representing meandering, braided streams on an alluvial, coastal plain, very close to sea level (minor marine incursions found). Indicated by Boucot and Janis (1983) to be possibly brackish-estuarine." | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
