Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: "limestone"
Secondary lithology: "shale"
Lithology description: "Unit K3/kz1 Interval 0.00-0.10m Thickness (visible) 0.10m Shale: brown to brownish grey, with numerous crushed brachiopods... and numerous fragments of bryozoans and crinoids. The shell structure is well preserved. Unit K3/kz2 Interval 0.10-0.55m Thickness 0.45m Limestone: pale grey, argillaceous, fine-grained, bedded, with disrupted subparallel sedimentary lamination. The lamination is also expressed on polished slabs as predominant horizontal orientation of bioclasts that locally imbricate to form "micro-pavements". Lamination planes show plant detritus, charophyte stalks, sparse Cancrinella, and unidentified branching calcareous microtubules. The rock is microporous, soft, and waterlogged at 0.30-0.45m of cumulative thickness. Unit K3/kz3 Interval 0.55-0.85m Thickness 0.30m Limestone: grey, weathers brownish, micritic (bioclastic wackestone to mudstone), weakly fissile, probably weakly argillaceous, with numerous Cancrinella on the bedding planes in the middle. Randomly oriented bioclasts indicate bioturbation. Bioclastic micro-pavements are locally preserved in the middle part of the unit. Unit K3/kz4 Interval 0.85-1.35m Thickness 0.5m Calcareous marl: dark grey, weathers brownish, unevenly hard, moderately fissile, laterally grading to the soft marly rock. Bioturbated bioclastic wackestone or calcimudstone with rare patches of bioclast micro-pavements. Unit K3/kz5 Interval 1.35-1.45m Thickness 0.10m Limestone: pale brownish grey, dolomitic, fine-grained, thin-bedded. Base conformable and gradational. This unit may be a part of the 'Chervotochina' Bed sensu Noinsky (1899, 1924). This unit can be described as a transition from fissile marl K3/kz4 to thick-bedded dolostone K3/1 marking a conformable contact of the Lower and Upper Kazanian in the type section."
