Stream cut through paleosol and standing water deposits

Gray underclay beneath laminated black shale is prominent. Beneath that, iron-cemented sandstone in creek bottom

Grey gleyed underclay paleosol

Fissile shale splits super well and suprisingly devoid of large plant fossils

Contains poorly developed siderite? Concretions

Sandstone cap visible here, representing one complete cycle (sand to sand, with gleyed paeosol, laminated black shale, coal, and gray mudstone between sands)

This facies was sampled for teaching collection.
