Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | gray marl |
| Lithology description: gray marls | |
| Environment: | deep subtidal indet. |
| Geology comments: Unit U3 (40 cm) consists of grey marls. At the base of this unit (Z5), planktonic and benthic foraminifers are abundant and well preserved. Towards the top of unit U3 (Z6 and Z7), foraminiferal abundance and species richness decrease, and autochthonous foraminiferal calcareous tests are badly preserved and show partial dissolution. | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | mesofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Reason for describing collection: | general faunal/floral analysis |
