Abstract

The Vinz Formation consists of four well-bedded facies listed in order of decreasing abundance. Facies A: well bedded medium dark gray, medium to thick bedded, poorly sorted coral- and stromatoporoid-bearing rudstone (more rarely floatstone) with clasts up to about 10 cm of diameter and poorly sorted very coarse to fine grainstone matrix; sometimes rudstone shows a fining upward trend up to grainstone; Facies B: medium dark gray, thin to medium bedded, wackestone to packstone with moderate yellow thin laminae of silt; Facies C: medium dark gray, thin to thick bedded, often fining upward, moderately to well sorted locally laminated grainstone (from very coarse up to granules to fine-grained) to packstone; Facies D: rare medium light gray, medium to thick bedded, moderately to well sorted crinoidal-bearing grainstone with sparite cement
