Stratigraphy
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | "reef rocks" |
| Environment: | reef, buildup or bioherm |
| Geology comments: marly wackestones, packstones, floatstones and rudstones with various amounts of crustose corallinaceans (dominant), unattached corallinacean branches and rhodoliths as well as non-framework forming plate-like Porites colonies (1–4 cm thick, 10–20 cm wide). Rhodoliths are represented by large (up to 30 cm) spherical branching and asymmetric open laminar and boxwork growth forms with intergrown Acervulina and bryozoans crusts. | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils,mesofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Reason for describing collection: | general faunal/floral analysis |
