Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | lithified "limestone" |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: Die Carbonate sind zum einen durch die verschiedenen Riff-Faziesbereiche geprägt, zum anderen ist die lokale Rotfärbung der Carbonate durch feinsten Keratophyrabtrieb ein Hinweis Erosionsvorgänge im Hinterland. Die Carbonate umfassen in der Klassifikation von DUNHAM (1962) alle Gesteine von dunklen Mudstones zu hellen Framestones (Boundstones). | |
