Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: lithified "limestone"
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: Main rock-forming element of diverse calcareous and/or marly and sandy deposits. Composed of large, mainly sphaeroidal rhodoliths,the internal structure of which shows typically three growth stages: branching nucleus, laminar stage, and columnar stage.
Environment:marine indet.
Geology comments: The red-algal limestones have been reported bath from
the southern slopes of the Swie$okrzyskie Mts. and Lublin Upland, and from the northern Carpathian border. The densilty of sampling was higher where
limestones with in-plance algal accumulations occur but lower in purely orgainodetrital limestones. Because of the poor expasure the samples were frequently taken from the weathering zone.
