| Primary lithology: | "cross stratification",burrows,pebbly,pyritic poorly lithified calcareous sandstone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: Decalcified calcareous sand and sandy calcarenite, coarse grained at the base. Fine- and medium-grained beds alternate with medium- and coarse grained beds, all with granules and small pebbles. There are several horizons of laterally impersistent and partially silicified thalassinoid burrow systems. Shallow trough cross-bedding is present at several levels and there are traces of rotted pyritic horizons. | |
