1.
Mudston
e

Repeating bed
Moderately
weathered
Relief of beds varied
with interbedding.
Mud was recessive,
silt was more
resistant
Weathered red
appearance and dark
brown fresh color
Bed 1, 1.28 m thick,
Strike/Dip 065/22NW
Bed 2, 1.2 m thick,
020/20NW- irregular
thickness
Lenticular bedding
Continuous,
repeating angular
bed to top of outcrop
Sharp contacts

Clay-sized
particles
Well-sorted
Flow melt
inclusions
Interbedding
of stronger silt
to fine-grain
sand
Fissile to well
-cemented
Includes shiny
particles, with
quartz or mica

Mud appears red from

oxidation
Bed 2 only has an
irregular wavy thickness
that is continuous.
(Figure 5)
This is
also the bed that has
inclusions.
Lamination changes
throughout bed from
fissile to well cemented
