Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: lithified "limestone"
Lithology description: Bolshakova & Ulitina 1985: reef-like limestone lens intercalated in sandstones. Rozman & Minzhin 1980: Grey pelitomorphic, medium-laminated, compact (they form the high ridge recognizable in relief), organogenic limestones: individual intercalations are packed with gastropods, with scarce remains of tabulate corals; eastward along the strike, these coral-gastropod limestones are replaced by sandy brachiopod limestones with sandstone seams.
Environment:reef, buildup or bioherm
