The skeletal-intraclastic packstone and grainstone facies represents maximum flooding. This facies thickens to the northwest and contains an open marine molluscan fauna of ammonites, bivalves, gastropods and scaphopods. The ammonites are indicative of the Tardus Zone of late Smithian age. Deposits above the maximum flooding zone (MFZ) are ...

In facies (3) angular quartz grains are matrix-supported in micrite mixed with a traction-load texture of bioclastic to intraclastic debris grainstone. This mixture of marine and non-marine textures and fossils suggests that the Benwood Limestone in Ohio was an open .

dolomitized, grainstone. In contrast, peritidal cyclic carbonates of the overlying Aguathuna Formation yield mainly a mixed molluscan fauna of cephalopods, gastropod shells and silicified gastropod opercula although grainstone beds contain as yet indeterminate artic - ulate brachiopods and trilobites.

Grainstones are most common in the upper part of the interval, but occur sparsely throughout. The dominant color of slabbed samples is white to light gray, but a few

Intraclastic peloidal packstone–grainstone (Fig. 7) (occurs within skull cap, hard cap and soft cap beds throughout the studied area) Packstone–grainstone, locally varies from more intraclastic to more peloidal. The bases of the beds are scoured when deposited directly above paleosols and are locally filled with coarser material.

These sediments accumulated in their lower part in open marine subtidal and shoal environments, changing upward to lagoonal and intertidal environments.

Abstract The Oscar Range in Western Australia's Canning Basin features inliers of folded Paleoproterozoic quartzite, quartzitic conglomerate, and phyllite that formed islands during the Late Devonian. Undisturbed strata of the Pillara Limestone (Upper Devonian, Frasnian Stage) surround individual paleoislands that rise above the former seabed with a maximum topographic relief of 90 m.

3.3.5. C5: Echinoderm Intraclastic Gastropoda PackstoneGrainstone This microfacies contains gastropoda particles (35%) and its size is 2 mm. Moreover, 20% intraclast and 5% echinoderm with weak sorting and roundness, and size of 0.3 mm are also observed in this microfacies. It is formed in limestones with grey shale and marl layers (Figure 4(e)).
