Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | hummocky CS lithified "limestone" | ||
| Secondary lithology: | lithified marl | ||
| Lithology description: "Limestones are mainly skeletal grain- stones to packstones, which vary from fine-grained grain- stones with HCS, or parallel to low angle cross-lamination, to structureless or cross-bedded coarse-grained grainstones and rud- to floatstones with brachiopod shells, or with frag- ments of corals and stromatoporoids. Subordinate skele- tal wacke- to packstones and intraclast-cortoid dark grey limestones also occur. Towards the top, some intervals are formed by lime mudstones and peloidal limestones with fenestral porosity." | |||
