... sedimentologic, paleontologic, and taphonomic study to establish a depositional environment framework of the Southfork Quarry. This site was deposited at the onset of the Eocene–Oligocene climate transition, a critical time of climate change during the Paleogene. Six facies and two facies associations...

Block diagrams detailing the multiple stages of deposition at the Southfork Quarry site. (a) Initial scouring and erosion of the top of the underlying Ravenscrag Formation, creating the conditions for a disconformity. (b) Deposition of Facies 1, consisting of cobble to pebble conglomerate. (c) Deposition of medium-grained sandstone, interbedded sandstone, and green claystone of Facies 2 and 3. This facies indicates decreasing flow regime in a climatically controlled environment. (d) As the channel shifted away from the main quarry area, increased avulsion and increased accommodation led to deposition of floodplain deposits of Facies 4. (e) A significant shift in base level resulted in channel incision, and accumulation of weathered remains of M. coloradensis remains at the channel base. This incision developed a paleosol profile (Facies 5). (f) The final stage of deposition recorded at Southfork Quarry site is the infilling of the incised channel with bentonitic claystones of Facies 6 sourced from debris flows. [Colour online.]

... ). The radiolarian assemblage during the late Bathonian (Southfork Member of Snowshoe Formation) is characterized by very low pantanelliid diversity and abundance and by the abundance of Praeparvicingula . This trend continues into the Callovian (Lonesome Formation). It should be noted that many of the radiolarian...
