Some sedimentary features of the investigated section. a Rip-up clasts pointing to the high energy of currents and erosion, 746.7 m. b Conglomerate resting on an erosional surface. Most pebbles are composed of local material (in some Phycosiphon incertum morphotype 3, Ph3, is visible), usually cemented by calcium carbonate. Shell debris is also common, 627.4 m. c Conglomerate—pebbles are composed of both local and exotic material (e.g., a larger chert pebble in the bottom-left), 627.3 m. d Erosional surface with coarse sandstone/grainstone, 630.9 m. e Mudstone–wackestone with erosional (channelized) surface and cross-bedded sandstone above. S, Schaubcylindrichnus; Ph2, Phycosiphon incertum morphotype 2, 683.3 m
