Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:volcaniclastic calcareous "shale"
Secondary lithology:volcaniclastic,gray,green "limestone"
Lithology description: "...a sequence of tuffaceous and calcareous shales interbedded with tuffaceous limestones containing abundant benthos. Some shale intercalations yield dendroids and graptolites of the C. lundgreni zone...gray-green tuffaceous limestones [at Barrande's locality]..."
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: "...confined to quiet water, subtidal, soft bottom environment of redeposited basaltic tuffs on top of the volcanoclastic elevation, in the euphotic zone with fossil algae....We assign it a BA 3-4 position [explanation follows, with abundant comparison to other communities]."
