The city is situated in a peninsular, arenaceous plain, facing the bay at the Northwest, and another front in the Atlantic Ocean at the Southeast.

Early to Late Proterozoic ( 2.5 to 0.54 billion years ) calcareous and arenaceous deposits, which correspond to humid and semi-arid climatic regimes, were deposited the Cuddapah and Vindhyan basins.

Although the group is so diverse that it is difficult to characterize mineralogically, it has a well-established place in arenaceous deposits are very frequent among Silurian and Cambrian rocks, and are less common in Mesozoic or Cenozoic strata.

Description of the lower boundary of this formation is that the base is placed at the base of the Golden Seam ( Swansea Three Feet or Graigola ) ( Woodland et al ., 1957 ), where the coal rests on mudstone seatearth within a predominantly arenaceous sequence of the Pennant Sandstone Formation.
15.
Description of the upper boundary of this formation is that the top is placed at the base of the Wernffraith Seam ( correlated with the Mynyddislwyn Seam of the eastern part of the South Wales Coalfield ) where the coal overlies mudstone seatearth with a predominantly arenaceous sequence of the Pennant Sandstone Formation, and is overlain conformably by the mudstone-dominated succession of the Grovesend Formation.

Description of the lower boundary of this formation is that the base is placed at the base of the Swansea Four-Feet Coal of the Swansea district ( equivalent of the Llantwit No . 3 Seam in the Pontypridd district and the Mynyddislwyn Seam east of the Taff valley ), where it overlies mudstone seatearth at the top of the predominantly arenaceous Swansea Member in the Swansea district and the similar Hughes Member in the east of the coalfield.

"M . fremonti " was excavated in California from the " Olenellus "-zone ( Pyramid Shale Member, Carrara Formation, Funeral Mountains, Resting Spring Range, and Salt Spring Hills ), the Lower " Olenellus "-zone ( Upper Poleta and lower Harkless Formations ) and the Upper " Olenellus "-zone ( middle part of the Latham Shale, at the Southern end of the Marble Mountains; Latham Shale, Marble Mountains, ?mile East of Cadiz; the Mohave Desert portion of San Bernardino County; the Mule Spring Limestone, White / Inyo Mountains region ), and in Nevada ( arenaceous shales at the summit of Prospect Mountain, Eureka County ).
