Macrofossils,mesofossils, "zone Wa-2 of Gingerich, 1983" the Bird Quarry lens "varies from 10-20 cm in thickness" and the Calcirudite Site is another lens that outcrops "some 10 m higher stratigraphically" and has "a maximum thickness in placs of 30-40 cm", All Bird Quarry fossils are from a lens "within a bed of gray mudstone" that "is a complex mass of brecciated, bioturbated micrite with some spar-filled dessication cracks and rare spar-filled gastropods... distinct [silt-filled] burrows and networks of plant rootlets" whereas "the calcirudite bed is composed of rounded calcium carbonate nodules equivalent in grain size to coarse sand" and "grades upward into a thin platy sandstone"
