Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: ...limestone/ marl succession separated from a similar lower complex by some 460 m of sands and clays. At the base of the upper succession occur, brown tuffaceous to brecciose volcanic deposits and fossiliferous clays. As the clayey reddish brown to greyish matrix or filling of the fossils discussed below is not tuffaceous it seems harldy likely that they derive from these depostis. However, in a a report...van Holst Pellekaan stated that there are in the upper limestone/marl complex, apart from coral limestone beds, also finely sandy marls with Foraminifera and 'numerous Mollusca' and again, grey fossiliferous marly clays with 'similar fossils.
Environment:marine indet.
