Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:bioturbation,concretionary,gray cherty/siliceous lime mudstone
Lithology description: Grey-weathering nodular limestone beds have characteristic undulating and knobby surfaces spaced from cm to dm apart, and consist mainly of filament- and radiolarian-microsparites (mudstone-wackestone), often strongly bioturbated. Silicification may be diffuse or nodular. Often mixed with fine ash- and crystal-tuffs.
