Fig. 3

The carbonates in the outcrop of about 40 m height revealing alternations of fine-bedded grey-coloured limestone and brownish, thin-bedded zones. The wall corresponds to cycles 1–3 and incomplete cycle 4 as defined by Meng et al. (1997). The thicker bed at the top of cycle 2 with round weathering features predominantly consists of cross-bedded oolitic grainstones (compare with Fig. 4)
