fauna comes from a grey-green clay with shell-fragments (approx. 8 cm thick) passing upwards into a lignitic clay. These laywers are overlain by a pale brown marly limestone with mollusc shells. fauna comes from a grey-green clay with shell-fragments (approx. 8 cm thick) passing upwards into a lignitic clay.
