Geology notes

"There is some suggestion of storm winnowing, and whole or large fossils are often concentrated on bedding planes...crowns exceedingly rare, but most brachiopods and some trilobites intact...BA 4 seems likely...fauna very similar to that of camerate-rich portions of Brownsport Fm., Tenn., except that individual camerates are much less common in the Henryhouse...For detailed information on Henryhouse Formation facies and environments, see Amsden (1981)" [This marl facies is between shallower limestone facies and deeper graptolite shale facies according to some of Amsden's maps.]\r\nSEP environmental call based on given info
