| Description |
Tonstein with fault polish & slickenlines in the Cretaceous of Wyoming, USA. This is a soft claystone sample that was originally a volcanic ash bed. It has been chemically altered as a result of deposition and burial in the acidic, reducing conditions of a coal swamp environment. Such altered volcanic ash beds are called tonsteins. The thin striations formed during fault movement. Stratigraphy: upper Rock Springs Formation, Campanian Stage, upper Upper Cretaceous Locality: hairpin curve roadcut along Superior Cutoff Road, northeastern side of Horse Thief Canyon, east of the town of Superior, central Sweetwater County, southwestern Wyoming, USA (41° 45' 58.04" North latitude, 108° 56' 22.36" West longitude) |
