Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | marl |
| Environment: | reef, buildup or bioherm |
| Geology comments: The outcrop yielded well-preserved macrofossils, which are mainly embedded between localised stromatoporoid-coral biostromes, in marly deposits. It displays a wide spectrum of epibionts encrusting every available hard surface: microconchids, bryozoans, tabulate and rugose corals, chaetitids, crinoid holdfasts and brachiopods. Encrusting bryozoans occur preferentially on corals and brachiopods. | |
