Descrizione

Descrizione

Koralligener Kalk zwischen der Passwang-Formation und dem Hauptrogenstein. An der Basis liegt eine Wechsellagerung von Mergeln mit bioklastischen Lagen vor, die hauptsächlich aus Echinodermen-, Brachiopoden- und Molluskenfragmenten bestehen. Diese wird von Korallenschutt und anderem bioklastischen Material überlagert.

Potenza

p.708: The Gislifluh Reef is an east-west striking columnar coral reef, a few hundred meters long, about 100-200 m wide and more than 40 m thick. At the base, marls alternate with coarse, bioclastic layers mainly consisting of echinoderm, brachiopod and mollusk fragments, overlain by coral rubble and other bioclastic material. The upper portion consists of several meter-thick layers of autochthonous corals, mostly head corals such as Isastrea and Thamnastrea. often one growing on top of the other. The cavities are filled with oolitic or bioclastic wacke- to packstones. Planar, erosional horizons and beds of allochthonous corals interrupt these layers at regular intervals.
