Stratigraphy
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | "reef rocks" |
| Lithology description: This 4 m high and a few meters wide coral buildup rests on bioturbated, bioclastic mollusk–corallinacean rudstones and packstones | |
| Environment: | reef, buildup or bioherm |
| Geology comments: 4 coral buildups. They range in lateral extent from 30 to 100 m, achieve heights of up to 9 m and are surrounded by coarsegrained coralline algal-dominated skeletal limestones (pack-, float-, rudstones) with variable quantities of coral debris, rhodoliths, bryozoan colonies, foraminifers, and mollusks | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils,mesofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Reason for describing collection: | general faunal/floral analysis |
