Vectis Formation (original) (raw)
The Vectis Formation is a geological formation on the Isle of Wight and Swanage, England whose strata were formed in the lowermost Aptian, approximately 125 million years ago. The environment of deposition was that of a freshwater coastal lagoon with occasional marine influence after the early Aptian marine transgression, transitioning from the floodplain environment of the underlying Wessex Formation. The primary lithology is of laminated grey mudstones. The Vectis Formation is composed of three geological members: the Shepherds Chine member, the Barnes High Sandstone member, and the Cowleaze Chine member. It is overlain by the fully marine Atherfield Clay Formation, part of the Lower Greensand Group. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.

(en) A Formação Vectis é uma formação geológica na Ilha de Wight e , Inglaterra, cujos estratos foram formados no andar Aptiano, aproximadamente 125 milhões de anos atrás. O ambiente de deposição foi o de uma lagoa costeira de água doce com influência marinha ocasional após a transgressão marinha aptiana inicial, em transição do ambiente de várzea da Formação Wessex subjacente. A litologia primária é de argilitos cinza laminados. A Formação Vectis é composta por três membros geológicos: o membro Shepherds Chine, o membro Barnes High Sandstone e o membro Cowleaze Chine. É coberto pela , totalmente marinha, parte do Grupo Lower Greensand. Restos de dinossauros estão entre os fósseis que foram recuperados da formação, bem como pterossauros. (pt) |
