Status
Formal (NAM & RGD 1980). Amended (Van Adrichem Boogaert & Kouwe 1994).
Lithologische beschrijving

Brownish, slightly argillaceous, dolomitic limestone or coarse-crystalline dolomite. Locally oolites and stromatolites occur within this carbonate Clark (1980). Anhydrite beds occur frequently intercalated in the carbonate. In the upper part it may contain thin claystone beds. In the fringe area the member can become sandy.

Afzettingsmilieu

Shallow marine carbonate, platform/ramp setting.

Definitie ondergrens

The top of the Grey Salt Clay Member is the base of this member.
