Lithologische beschrijving
Interval of thick, massive, white, coarse-grained to pebbly, arkosic sandstones with kaolinitic cement, interbedded with some variegated mudstone beds and rare coal seams.
Afzettingsmilieu
Fluvial-fan system. Sandstones: braided fluvial channels and associated overbank sheet floods. And periods of poor flood-plain soil drainage.
Definitie ondergrens
Conformably overlies the Kemperkoul Member. The base is characterised by the abrupt upward transition of dark-coloured coal measures into massive, white sandstones. Seismic data and well-log correlations suggest a slight angular unconformity in the type area.
Definitie bovengrens
Grades into the uppermost part of the Hellevoetsluis Formation and the Strijen Formation towards the central-western part of the Campine Basin.
Dikte indicatie
Up to 300 m in Neerglabbeek-146.
