Lithologische beschrijving
Dark-grey, carbonaceous, locally silty to sandy claystone, with thin intercalated beds of well-sorted, very fine to fine-grained sandstone, dolomite and coal. An up to 25 m thick interval with several thicker sandstone and coal beds is included in the member. Cored sections show bioturbated wavy and flaser bedding. The sandstone beds are cross-bedded. Internal coarsening upward trends are frequently observed.
Afzettingsmilieu
Lagoonal.
Definitie ondergrens
Unconformable with the Altena Group and can be seen as a shift in sonic log patterns and as a seismic reflector.
Definitie bovengrens
Base of the second thick sandstone interval in the type well, often marked by a resistivity-log peak. Resistivity and sonic log readings above this boundary seem to shift and change slightly, but not uniformly.
Dikte indicatie
Up to 113 m.
