Figure 13. Discontinuous and irregular beige micritic layers (BML) in thin sections from the Querecual Formation showing large quantities of recrystallized planktonic foraminifers. A. Deformation of BML around a calcitized foraminifer (magnification: 13x) (Bergantin, Hole 3-2, 187-190 cm). B. Aligned BML(s) (magnification: 27x) (Carretera a Turimiquire, Hole 1-2, 130-133 cm). C. Deformation of laminae around associated BML(s) (magnification: 27x) (Carretera a Turimiquire, Hole 1-1, 64-67 cm). D. Semicontinuous embossed BML(s) assumed to represent the first step of isolated BML individualization (magnification: 27x) (Carretera a Turimiquire, Hole 1-1, 64-67 cm).
