Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:concretionary,shelly/skeletal silty rudstone
Lithology description: Irregularly bedded, nodular microsparitic biorudites with mud- and silt-streaks. In the lowest and uppermost parts of the unit, mudstone lenses reach several cm in thickness. These parts are characterized by strongly bioturbated, poorly sorted wackestones, whereas the middle part of the unit is dominated by packstones which show several levels with varying particle sizes and packing densities and are generally poor in mud.
Environment:marine indet.
