indicates relatively contirnucus

Gepiasitien of carbonate from 40 Ma ta 20 Ma. Depasitional environments show
a graduzel] tbasirward progracation of facies with elope carbonates passing
upward into fore-reef, reef, beck-reef, and lageonal carbonates. Slape
strata contain wackestones and packstones with submarine-cenented
lithaclasts, cereal, coralline algae fragments, Beathic retaiine forams,
flanktenic ferans, and echinocerm fragments. Fore-reef strata are
dominattly oackstones and EFourdstanes containing large pieces af ceral,
ebuidant benthic forems, coralline algae fragments, stromatopercids( ), end
mince planktosic forans, Reef and near-reaf zeciments include coralgal
