Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: lime mudstone
Secondary lithology:lenticular,current ripples,bioturbation sandy "siliciclastic"
Lithology description: Formed predominately of red limes, with rare thick lenses of terrigenous deposits (Molina and Yebenes 1987) Unit 3: "The coarser terrigenous material (fine to medium sand) is not typically channelized, but most frequently occurs in lenticular bedding and isolated dunes (Diaz et al. 1984)."
Environment:estuary/bay
Geology comments: "Unit 3 is characterized by the disappearance of the carbonate facies and predominance of mudstones. This is interpreted as a muddy intertidal flat deposit...Despite a large discontinuity existing within unit 3, or at its upper or lower boundaries, the intertidal facies can be integrated withing[sic].." terregenous delta-derived material prograding into a shallow lagoon (Diaz et al. 1987).
