| Description |
Fossiliferous limestone from the Mississippian of West Virginia, USA. (handlens for scale) The term "crinkle bed" has been used to refer to some bivalve shell pavements. The bedding plane shown above is a good example. This is a fossiliferous limestone derived from the Upper Mississippian of West Virginia. The surface is packed with clam shell fossils that appear to be consistent with Modiolus (Mollusca, Bivalvia, Pteriomorphia, Mytiloida, Mytilidae) and Septimyalina (Mollusca, Bivalvia, Pteriomorphia, Pterioida, Pteriina, Myalinidae). Low-diversity, high-abundance fossil surfaces such as this are often inferred to be from marginal marine facies. Stratigraphy: Hinton Formation or upper Bluefield Formation, Upper Mississippian Locality: roadcut through Divide Ridge on the northern side of Rt. 460, between Oakvale and Kellysville, southeastern Mercer County, far-southern West Virginia, USA (37º 20' 41.53" North latitude, 80º 56' 16.71" West longitude) Some info. from: Hoare (1993) - Journal of Paleontology 67(3). Vance et al. (2006) - Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs 38(7): 67. |
