make up progressively deepening facies, but these faunal
facies are repeated in reverse order upward through the
Arnheim Formation from the deepwater carbonates
in the base of the Sunset to shallow water with its
"recurrent" Corryville fauna near its top, to the Oregonia
with its fossil "hash" near its top.
