		In the upper beds occur the bituminous or Boghead shale of tiutun.
		The general sequence begins with the Artinsk beds, sandy and marly or conglomeratic beds in close connection with the Carboniferous, overlain by the Kungur limestonet and dolomites; these are followed by red fresh-water sandstones, over which comes an important series of copper-bearing sandstones and conglomerates.

		The German subdivisions of the Bunter are as follows;(i) Upper Buntsandslein, or Rot, mottled red and green mans and ~lays with occasional beds of shale, sandstone, gypsum, rocksaft md dolomite.
		In the Vosges district, this subdivision of the Bunter is called the Grs des Vosges, or the Gre-s principal, which comprises: (1.) red micaceous and argillaceous sandstone; (ii.) the conglomirat principal; and (iii.) Grs bigarre principal (=grs des Vosges, properly so-called).
		In Germany some of the harder beds have yielded building stones, which were much used in the middle ages in the construction of cathedrals and castles in southern Germany and on the Rhine.

	BADGER - GRAND FALLS AREA
		When you see red-coloured sedimentary rocks (red beds), it usually means that the sediments were laid down in very shallow water or on land.
		At 20 m south of the sign, near the south end of the cliff, green sandstone beds have ripple marks of different wavelengths from bed to bed; these show that the beds were deposited under different conditions.
		A little north of centre of the outcrop is a red shale bed with lines of green sandstone running across it forming a polygonal pattern.

		The Abo red beds in the subsurface of Chaves County have become some of the most important targets of natural gas drilling since they were designated "tight gas sand" in 1980.
		The Abo red beds were then tested to verify gas detected by crossover of the neutron-porosity and density-porosity logs.
		The Abo red beds are subdivided vertically into three informal lithologic units on the northwest shelf of the Permian Basin: a lower unit of "granite wash," a middle unit of mudstone, an upper unit of interbedded sandstone and mudstone.

		The abrupt change from red beds at the top of the Boundary Ridge Member to marine limestone at the base of the Watton Canyon Member is proof of an environmental change but is not proof of an unconformity at the contact.
		Lithologically it is characterized by thin-bedded limestone that is wavy bedded, ripple marked, silty to sandy and is mostly yellowish, greenish, or pinkish gray.

		These red clastic sediments had long been observed both in Venezuela and Colombia, but until around 1938 they were not always clearly distinguished from basal Cretaceous sandy beds which generally overlie them, often without apparent unconformity.
		Bedding is regular, with thickness of individual strata varying from a decimeter to a half meter or more.

		“Red beds” of Cala Viola, Sardinia are identified as paleosols and used to reconstruct late Permian paleoclimatic conditions.
		The lack of free soil carbonate and the degree of chemical weathering are consistent with a humid, temperate climatic regime.
		Instead, it is suggested that the red color of the paleosols is a result of former good drainage, and that a priori, red color does not indicate specific paleoclimatic conditions.

		Geographically extended the Bloomsburg red beds to southeastern NY, as far as Otisville, Orange Co. The Bloomsburg is equivalent to the upper part of the McKenzie formation, Wills Creek shale, and lower part of the Tonoloway limestone.
		Bloomsburg paleosol "cycles" consist of a basal, sharp marine erosional surface that truncates the subjacent paleosol, followed by a red interval that includes symmetrical wave ripple-laminated sandstone and bioturbated siltstone, which is then succeeded upward by red claystone with abundant pedogenic slickensides.
		The Bloomsburg Red Beds in southeastern NY is revised to include two intervening tongues, the lower Wurtsboro Tongue and the upper Basher Kill Tongue.

	DID THE WOOD ROACH CAUSE the PERMIAN- ARIDITY, RED BEDS, and CONIFER RISE?
		Red shales may have been caused by high alkalinity in the gut of humus eating roaches.
		Red shales appeared early in the Permian in South Africa and in late Pennsylvanian in North America and in the mid Permian in Europe and Argentina (Veevers p192).
		The reduction of litter may have caused the extremes of moisture in the Permian and Triassic red beds because not only does litter and mulch considerably affect keeping soil moist and at an even temperature, but the litter's own extra moisture stores can cause a considerably enhanced transfer of moisture inland.

		The "Red Beds" of Michigan are comprised of red and greenish-gray shales and sandstones, and extensive lenses of gypsum, in the central part of the Michigan Basin.
		However, a possible alternative origin is the transgression of an epeiric sea through a restricted channel from the west or northwest for a limited time and the development of a sabkha-like environment on a broad coastal plain of very low relief.
		The palynoflora of the Michigan "Red Beds" is closely similar to that of the "Mistuskwia Beds" encountered in two bore holes in the Moose River Basin of the James Bay Lowland, Ontario.

	Permian period: Historical Geology of the Period
		The red beds are generally considered to be indicative of increasingly arid conditions in Permian times.
		In Europe, the Lower Permian, or Rotliegendes [red layers], was marked principally by erosion from the Paleozoic Alps of the Carboniferous into the low-lying land to the north; the formations are chiefly shale and sandstone, with some conglomerate and breccia.
		This glaciation and the aridity of which the red beds seem to be the result are the two most strongly marked characteristics of the Permian period.

		Above these two debris flow dominated units is the thick, but discontinuous, claystones of "Red Hill." These very clayey red beds record a long period of volcanic quiescence, slow floodplain aggradation and long periods of tropical and subtropical soil formation.
		A climatic change is inferred during the accumulation of the red beds from the presence of very strongly developed Ultisol-like paleosols in the lower half of the unit and well developed, Alfisol-like paleosols in the upper half.
		Pockets of red and white claystones are preserved between the andesite and overlying debris flows.

		The Cutler red beds are a layer of red siltstone and shales characterized by red, reddish-brown and purple colors that were deposited during Permian time and that are very extensive on the Colorado Plateau.
		These rock layers were deposited by meandering streams moving through low, gently sloping country and carrying sediments from the Ancestral Rockies in Utah and Colorado.
		Even so, as much as 600 feet of this red Cutler Formation are exposed in a canyon near Fort Defiance, AZ (near Window Rock).

		Low whole rock iron values of the Abo Formation relative to other red bed units is consistent with clay being the principal iron source.
		The Abo Formation may represent a clay dominated end member in a continuum of red beds in which the iron needed for reddening is derived from clays and coarser iron bearing framework grains.

		Recently-discovered mammals from the Upper Triassic Red Beds of the Karoo include Erythrotherium and Megazostrodon, and these tiny specimens show that by the end of the Karoo period, 190 million years ago, a new class of animal had appeared and stood ready to initiate, much later, the great Age of Mammals.
		The climate during the Red Bed period became increasingly hot and dry, and the succeeding Cave Sandstone was laid down in semi-desert conditions, where wind-blown sand covered large areas of the Karoo.
