Lithology and environment
| Lithology description: 'The section continues (following on from Masia del Barbo 2A) with 3.4m of white and marly limestone. The lower 1.8m has a complex structure with many pockets of silt, greenish clay and debris of marl, lignite and molluscs. The silts pockets are mottled because of soft black lignite fragments. The pockets contain remains of large and small mammals. This is the Masia del Barbo 2B locality (MBB).' |
