Figure 4. Center. Lithostratigraphic section of Leukopighi area.
(1)Pillow-lava with chert of the ophiolitic unit; (2) & (3) Upper Jurassic
recrystallized limestone and calcarenite; (4) Lower Cretaceous limestone breccia
and conglomerate; (5) & (6) Middle-Upper Cretaceous coarser grained bioclastic
limestone and debris flow sequences rich in rudist bivalves fragments; (7)
Santonian to Middle Maastrichtian bedded pelagic limestone; (8) Upper
Maastrichtian pelitic flysch successions; (D) disconformity and bauxite horizon;
(t)thrust.
Left. Photomicrographs of Upper Jurassic chlorozoan limestones.
(A) Hermatypic corals from well preserved coral boundstones.
(B) Bioclastic floatstone with fragments of calcareous green algae, corals
echinoderms, oncoids, and small benthonic foraminifera. Non-skeletal grains are
also detectible.
C) Rudstone with algal oncoids and fragments of calcareous green algae.
(D) Bindstone with Bacinella irregularis Radoicic.
Right. Photomicrographs of Upper Cretaceous foramol limestones.
A) Rudstone-floatstone with rudist fragments and large benthic foraminifera (orbitolinids).
Corals, calcareous green algae, and non-skeletal grains totally lacking.
(B) Rudstone-floatstone with rudist fragments and large benthic foraminifera (orbitolinids)
in crossed nicols. Along microstylolites bioclasts appear highly compacted.
C) Poorly sorted rudstone with bioeroded and micritized rudist fragments and
large benthic foraminifera.
D) Pelagic foraminiferal wackestone with fragments of bioclastic packstone rich
in shallow-water foramol skeletal fragments.
