Glauconite is common but in low concentration. The topfacies per cycle varies in grain size from fine sand to clay and may contain vegetation remains or be peaty. The topfacies is composed of both simple and composite bedsets. The maximal thickness of the observed topfacies is 20 cm, 10 cm is more common. |
