| OUMNH Number: | 399 |
|---|---|
| Name and quarry location: | Breccia corallina giallastra from Verzirhan, Bilecik,Turkey or breccia Godoy |
| Geological description: | Polymict limestone conglomerate. Clast boundaries and contacts sutured. Note stylolites and extensive calcite-filled fractures. |
| Comments: | This is a rather less fractured form of the stone called breccia corallina giallastra in Borghini (1997; 168) who states the provenance is unknown. It may be Breccia Godoy; which may possibly be a variety of breccia corallina, also illustrated in Borghini (1997), but the limestone appears to be different. |
