Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | pebbly,shelly/skeletal,black,gray "limestone" |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: occurs in the form of bands of varying thickness between the grey and green shales, at places (e.g. near this locality) it becomes pebbly or microconglomeratic consisting of black iron oxide concretions and phosphatic nodules embedded in a grey to black matrix. This pebble rock is rich in oysters and bone fragments and the calcareous matrix is recrystallized. This quartz veins are very common | |
