Laterally adjacent to and interfingering with the biostromal limestone is an archaeocyathan-rich biosparite indicating rewroking and deposition as lenses along side the bistromal growths. The siltstones/shales above and below the biostrome are lacking archaeocyathan. AGE: Waucoban; refined by A. Hendy (6/2009) on the basis of biostratigraphic data (= Bonnia-Olenellus zone).
