Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | "reef rocks" |
| Secondary lithology: | grainstone |
| Lithology description: Floatstone with irregular to round-shaped rhodoliths. | |
| Environment: | platform/shelf-margin reef |
| Geology comments: coral bioconstructions of variable shape and thickness that developed on both sides of the platform top. Domestone structures are represented by massive coral frameworks up to 13 m thick, associated with large coralline algal grainstone deposits and by more continuous coral beds up to 2 m thick. Smaller, isolated coral domestone patches can be also found within the benthic foraminifera packstone facies. | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Reason for describing collection: | paleoecologic analysis |
