repeatedly on the flanks of open folds in an area 550 km long and 140 km wide
(approximately 75 000 km 2). At all localities there is a vertical change from mudstone to
fissile siltstone into the sandstone of the formation itself and a return to fissile siltstone, then
mudstone above the formation. Within the sandstone formation there are lateral facies
differences, which are related to the paleogeography of the Ordovician shelf.
