Quarry for the extraction of aggregates and clays from Miocenic deposits. Limestone pebbles have inside vugs lined with crystallized calcites. The pebbles are within sediments cemented by a carbonated matrix. They were accumulated as alluvium deposits during Middle and Upper Miocene. Subsequent diagenetic processes caused the calcite growings. Other minerals can be found but scarcely and with little interest for collectors.
