Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:gray,green,red lithified chert
Secondary lithology: lithified mudstone
Lithology description: This section is composed of a rhythmically interbedded sequence of chert and mudstone. The thickness of individual chert layer varies from 1 to 7 cm (mostly 4-4,5 cm), and the mudstone layer is very thin (mostly 1-3mm). The chert exhibits a wide range of color, varying from mostly gray and green to partly red. In these chert layers, some sedimentary structures such as convolute lamination are observed.
Environment:marine indet.
