Stratigraphy
Geological group:Cliefden Caves Limestone Formation:Vandon Limestone Member:Trilobite Hill Limestone
Stratigraphic resolution:member
Stratigraphy comments: Was Gisbonian - Eastonian, but revised based on Percival et al. (2008).
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: lithified "limestone"
Environment:deep subtidal shelf
Geology comments: Thin-bedded, midshelf, limestone
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation:body
Size of fossils:macrofossils,mesofossils
Collection methods and comments
Reason for describing collection:biostratigraphic analysis
Taxonomic list comments:Composite of several papers. Later reassigned to this specific locality as it is the most diverse in Percival (1991). Non-brachiopods need to be divied up into appropriate localities.
