| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: "Occurs in nodular limestones, dolomitic limestones, secondary dolomites and detrital limestones, rarely in wavy bedded limestones and marls of the third and fourth facies zone. The bulk of the brachiopods are disarticulated...These data indicate moderate turbulence to quiet water conditions. The distribution of this community...suggests a position within the nearshore part of BA 3 or even into outer BA 2." | |
| Environment: | marine indet. |
