place the unit in a Sabkha environment which is slightly more bentoniitic Explanation: La presencia de yeso y restos de invertebrados en la Formacion Celendin para esta region, *la* sitúan en un ambiente tipo Sabka que es ligeramente mas bentonico hacia el oeste Ufff, con perdón, pero el uso de la primera persona del plural en un texto técnico, es poco recomendable. For this region, the gypsum and invertebrate vestiges on the Celendin formation, place the unit in a Sabkha environment which is slightly more bentoniitic to the west -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2008-11-10 18:26:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It's benthonic, nor bentoniitic. Benthonic refers to the life in the bottom of a standing body of water -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 43 mins (2008-11-10 18:35:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Benthos: the life dwelling in the bottom of the sea. Opposite of pelagic: marine organisms which live smiming-free or floating in the sea. |
