Geological mapping and examination of the Feather Conglomerate and the Lashly Formation at Horseshoe Mountain and Shapeless Mountain
Entry ID:
K042_1979_1980_NZ_2
Summary
Abstract:
Five days were spent geological mapping and sampling at Horseshoe Mountain. The strata cropping out are the Feather Conglomerate (Late Permian - early Triassic) and the Lashly Formation (Mid-Late Triassic). Reconnaissance and a small amount of sampling of the Lashly Formation at Shapeless Mountain was also conducted. Detailed petrological studies were made of the sandstone samples to determine mineralogical changes that may occur throughout this Triassic sequence. The relationship between sandstone texture and sedimentary structures was also studied.
