(2006) :
A calibrated composite section for the Late Jurassic Reuchenette Formation in northwestern Switzerland (?Oxfordian, Kimmeridgian sensu gallico, Ajoie-Region) Eclogae geol. Helv. 99, 175-191
Thalassinoides Limestone (≈30 m) (Plate 1, a):
The Reuchenette Formation starts with monotonous, thick- to massive-layered (m-thick), well-bedded, bioturbated, grey, micritic limestones with some bioclasts and reddish brown or greyish, coarse-grained, pseudo-oolitic (mainly rounded intraclasts and peloids) pockets, patches and strings within a micritic matrix. Generally, macrofossils are rare. Thin to thick-bedded layers fracture conchoidally and commonly contain abundant Thalassinoides. These burrows are often filled with the coarse-grained pseudo-oolitic material mentioned above. Between 22 m and 30 m (composite section; Fig. 4) several conspicuous horizons with Thalassinoides are filled with coarse spary cement (beds VAT-150, VAT-20, COE-240, COE-170, COE-180, VAB-40, VAB-30, RAS-25; see Fig. 4). Bed surfaces are often iron stained, occasionally bored and biogenically encrusted by oysters. About 9 m below the upper boundary of this interval, a 6–7 meters thick, white, chalky limestone with oncoids and coral clasts occurs within the monotonous, grey, micritic interval (e.g. beds RAS-45 to RAS-48; Fig. 4). In La Rasse another 3–4 m thick white layer is visible, intercalated into the grey limestones (beds RAS-57 to RAS- 60), as well. In Coeuve the top few meters bear a stromatolite layer.
