General Environmental Setting:
Marine shoreface – beach
Rock Description:
Parallel-to-burrowed sandstone. Burrow are horizontal forms similar to Paleophycus
Depositional Environment Represented:
Shoreface. The alternation of parallel bedded sandstone in which burrows are rare to absent with densely burrowed zones suggests considerable variation in sedimentation rates, probably associated with storm/fairweather deposition.
Other environments where rock type is typically found:
Not found in other environments
General Environmental Setting:
Marine offshore to transitional zone
Rock Description:
Fine grained sandstone and mudstone. Bioturbation and compaction. May locally contain gas-disrupted bedding.
Depositional Environment Represented:
Shoreface to shallow offshore.
Other environments where rock type is typically found:
Any moderate to low energy environment including lakes, lagoons and shallow marine environments.
General Environmental Setting:
Marine offshore transitional zone
Rock Description:
Parallel bedded sandstone and mudstone (base). Because the mudstone and sandstone beds are parallel it is likely that the beds were close to horizontal at deposition. Thus the apparent dip of the beds in the core is a result of the beds not being drilled perpendicular
Depositional Environment Represented:
Shallow offshore
Other environments where rock type is typically found:
Not found in other environments
