Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:brown marl
Secondary lithology: "limestone"
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: Below a layer, 15 cm in thickness, which is strongly weathered, is a layer of light-brown marl, 120 cm thick, which nearly contains all of the vertebrate fossils. Below that layer there is a small (15 cm) layer of limestone with big Gastropods (Galactochilus sp.). They are followed by 20-25 cm of colloured marls, where are only found single bone-fragments and teeth-fragments. Below that are clay- and sandlayers without fossils.
Environment:lacustrine indet.
