Immediately below the cementstone there is a bed approximately 3 cm thick that appears to have been fluidized; it is acoccolith-rich mudstone run through with mini-sediment-filled fissures.

They produce calcified scales, known as coccoliths, which are deposited on the surface of the cell resulting in the formation of a coccosphere.
