Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox rockunit The Devonian Harrell Formation is a mapped bedrock unit in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia.

Description

The Harrell Formation was first described by Charles Butts in 1918. Hasson and Dennison (1978) state "The Harrell Shale consists of very dark gray, thinly laminated, platy- to sheety-weathering shale underlain in certain areas by the grayish black shale of the Burket Member."[1]

Fossils

Hasson and Dennison reported the following fossils from several outcrops of the Harrell:[1]

  • Bivalvia: Buchiola livonae (?), B. retrostriata, Paracardium doris, Pterochaenia fragilis, Lunlulicardium (?)
  • Cephalopoda: Bactrites aciculum, Probeloceras lutheri
  • Cricoconarida (class of Mollusca): Styliolina fissurella

Notable Exposures

Type locality is at Horrell Station, Blair County, Pennsylvania (Шаблон:Coord).[2] In 1918, when Butts described and named the type section, the USGS topo map spelled the location "Harrell", [3] but the local spelling was "Horrell".[4][5]

Age

Relative age dating places the Harrell in the late Devonian.
