Most hemipteran and beetle fossils have yet to be assigned to the species level. In terms of named diversity, dipterans (flies) make up the bulk of the assemblage, despite representing only 1.5% of insect fossils from the Solite Quarry. Within the shale layers bearing insect fossils, aquatic insects are most abundant in the early part of a layer, while terrestrial insects maintain a low but steady presence through the entire layer. 1011: 1091: 316: 288: 1048: 590:(deepest portion) completely lacking oxygen. An alternative hypothesis suggests that the lake was rather shallow, albeit still deep enough to have been permanent during the formation's deposition. This is supported by the abundance of dolomite, a mineral which forms most easily in salty shallow-water environments. In addition, the insect-bearing layers nearly lack organic 1362:
97 different morphotypes (forms) of beetles occur in the Solite Quarry. In terms of size distribution, the beetle fauna is similar to modern ecosystems, with just over half of all morphotypes between 2 and 4 mm in length. Most morphotypes are rare, with 84% known from a single specimen. The two

As with excessive salinity, excessive fluorine can be toxic for fully aquatic organisms (including bioturbators and freshwater plants), but air-breathing insects can persevere and thrive close to the shoreline. 723:. The result was the Newark astrochronostratigraphic polarity time scale (APTS), a unifying system which provides precise ages for sediment layers within the basin. The resulting ages were younger than previously expected. For example, the Lockatong Formation was assigned a mid- 3874:
