381: 116: 388: 337: 325: 592:. The paleosol type is similar to modern vertisols forming in semi-arid areas with seasonal precipitation, commonly with dry periods lasting 4–8 months. The presence of root traces suggests that the floodplain was covered with small trees and bushes, vegetation suitable for herbivorous animals living on the alluvial plain. 514:
The climate during deposition of the Lunde Formation was semiarid and highly seasonal, typical for the contemporary palaeogeographic position at 40-50 degrees North paleolatitude.
