A sill is a relatively thin intrusion, which makes a table along bedding planes.
Well, then there's a squeeze through a bedding plane.

They are created by the wave driven erosion of cliffs along faults and bedding planes in the rock.
It is a complex maze of passageways, large and small, mostly developed along one or two major bedding planes.
Fortunately, the Burgess fossils do not usually lie on a single bedding plane.
