Notes: * = the two materials of the thinly layered limestone piece are referred to as sandy claystone and lamination of biosparite. † = semiquantitative percent composition determined from smear slide observation of the lime mud part (N = 4), ‡ = stereoscope microscope observation of the submillimeter layers within Piece 8. ** = Folk's (1962) classification of carbonate textures. — = undefined.
