• 6 track-bearing levels
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lacustrine; massive, tabular, bioturbated, nodular, shelly/skeletal, argillaceous, sandy lime mudstone and bioturbated, quartzose, shelly/skeletal, sandy wackestone
•Level SLPI-1: "a sandy, fine-grained limestone with nodules, fossil fragments, ostracods, and bioturbation."
•Level SLPI-2: ornithopod track; "a marls limestone mudstone with load structures, horizontal lamination, ostracods, and bioturbation."
•Level SLPI-3: theropod track; "a sandy limestone wackestone with bioturbation and dessication cracks."
•Level SLPI-4: ornithopod tracks; "a sandy biomicrite rich in organic material, with wackestone texture, ostracods, bioturbation, and silt-fine sand quartz."
•Level SLPI-5: theropod tracks; "a very organic-rich biomicrite wackestone, locally packstone, slightly nodularized at the top, with ostracods, semionotiform fish scales, dessication cracks, bioturbation, and, in zones, certain less clear horizontal lamination."
•Level SLIPI-6: theropod and sauropod tracks; "a very fine-fine quartzarenite with abundant carbonate cement and horizontal lamination."
