• Upper Kazanian beds, numbered E2/8 and E2/9 from bottom to top (Nurgaliev et al. 2015)

•Overlies beds found at outcrop E1 (Collection no. 197598)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lagoonal or restricted shallow subtidal; lithified, gypsiferous limestone

• "[Spiny Limestone Member]

•Package E2.8 Interval 50.5-52.5m Thickness 2.0m

•Limestone: yellowish-grey, thickly platy, oolitic, bioclastic, sandy. Bioclasts compose 80% of the rock and are presented by foraminifers, bivalves, brachiopods, bryozoans, and fragments of crinoids. Trace fossils are represented by large (5-10mm in diameter) horizontal, branching burrows filled with shell debris.

•Packages E2/9 Interval 52.5-54.5m Thickness (visible) 2.0m

•Limestone: light-grey, compact, oolitic, massive, sometimes thinly bedded, containing forams, gastropods, bivalves, brachiopods, rare bryozoans and conodonts. This bed armours the edge of the slope and is overlain by the soil." (Nurgaliev et al. 2015)

Size class: macrofossils
