Lithologische beschrijving

Blue-grey marly, locally anhydritic or pebbly claystone succession intercalated between the two evaporite members of the Weiteveen Formation.

Afzettingsmilieu

Floodplain to highly-restricted lacustrine basin-margin or marginal-marine sub-basin setting.

Definitie ondergrens

The higher clay content clearly distinguishes this member from the underlying evaporitic units. This can be seen on wireline logs: higher GR-, lower resisitivity- and sonic-log readings.

Definitie bovengrens

The higher clay content clearly distinguishes this member from the overlying evaporitic units. This can be seen on wireline logs: higher GR-, lower resisitivity- and sonic-log readings.
