Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | "limestone" |
| Environment: | open shallow subtidal |
| Geology comments: high amount (60%) of siliciclastics at the base (poorly sorted pebble to cobble
sized). Rhodoliths (Ø 2–3 cm) are common, occasionally with mica schist pebbles as nuclei. The siliciclastic content decreases to ca. 5% at the top. | |
