Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | shelly/skeletal,gray grainstone |
| Lithology description: ranges from a typical gray limestone through into conglomeratic rocks or even silty, impure limestones; well-beded towards the base, massive at higher horizons; in general, a coarse calcarenite made up essentially of comminuted bioclastic debris, mainly corals, stromatoporoids, and to a lesser degree, algae; in the boola quarry, the rock approaches more a calcilutite | |
| Environment: | marine indet. |
