Depositional-depth interpretation for LP21
The LP21 depth chart reportedly places the sample in an upper-bathyal envelope, a plausible setting for fine-grained deposits associated with the Halang deep-water system. That conclusion remains conditional on the ecological calibration and preservation of the controlling benthic taxa.

Geological interpretation and evidential boundary
The LP21 depth chart reportedly places the sample in an upper-bathyal envelope, a plausible setting for fine-grained deposits associated with the Halang deep-water system. That conclusion remains conditional on the ecological calibration and preservation of the controlling benthic taxa. A transparent audit should show the intersection before rounding, identify taxa with the narrowest ranges, and repeat the calculation after removing potential shallow-water reworked forms. Sedimentological consistency is required: basin-plain or overbank mudstone architecture would support the interpretation, whereas wave structures, shallow benthos or subaerial features would contradict it. The appropriate output is a bathymetric class with uncertainty, not a precise metre range presented as directly measured depth.
