NMDS-based plots for selected dominant macrofossil taxa, indicated by taxon label. Percentage values indicate relative abundance cutoff values used for that particular plot. Orientation of axes is arbitrary and axis units represent NMDS scores. Key: F, coarsening upward interbedded siltstone–sandstone; I, Fe-oxide nodules (ironstones); K, kaolinite-dominated siltstone; O, organic shale; P, mudstone parting beds.
