Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: the lithology is distinguished by dark grey and dark biomicrites and micrites with variable amount of skeletal detritus, larger bioclasts and scattered or clustered remains of benthic organisms. grey to varicoloured calcareous mudstones with very common calcified organic remains constitute interbeds of generally subordinate thickness. although the bedding is less regular, bedding planes of uneven and lenticular layers are common, a small-scale rhythmicity is manifested by alternation of limestone and marl-rich layers.
Environment:marine indet.
