p.104: In most profiles, the Murchisoni horizon passes directly into the Granulosa Limestone and Marl, which was named after its index foraminifera, Assilina granulosa. It consists of two marls of varying thickness (0.2-0.5 m) separated by a brecciated limestone or calcareous greensand. At Lower Sibetsegg (733.7/197.7) (Wegmann 1961) and Näserinabach (Fig. 5), both the limestone and marls contain a fauna of abundant assilinids, small nummulitids and discocyclinids, which implies a water depth of more than 50 m according to Racey (1988). The marls provide good correlation surfaces, in particular the second marl which coincides with the disappearance of Nummulites murchisoni at the base of the main Nummulitic Limestone. The lower marl in Näserinabach is much thicker than elsewhere and contains silty lenses with pyritised assilinids and echinoderms, produced by bioturbation within a sediment column that became a reducing environment further down.
At Upper Windegg, there is evidence of a third phase of early cementation in the form of a nodular limestone horizon at the top of the Granulosa Limestone (Fig. 4). The fine sandy limestone nodules and medium-sized assilinids imply that fine material has been winnowed out and the remainder lithified by through-going pore fluids. A similar nodular limestone is present in the Fanenstock profile where there is no marl at all, and is colonised by bryozoans (Fig. 4).
