| Secondary lithology: | gray lithified "limestone" |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: gray, fresh, partially dolomitised mottled limestone; distintive 'two tone' lithology, compromising centrimetre-scale interbeds of light gray lime wackstone and darker gray dolomitic siltstone | |
| Environment: | open shallow subtidal |
| Geology comments: The carbonate beds crop out as low mounds, benches and pavements, in dolines or as towers; beds marking periods of unrestricted open shelf sedimentation | |

| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection methods: | core,acetic,field collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | biostratigraphic analysis |
