| The formation of botryoidal aragonite and clotted micrite was followed by silicification of carbonate phases and precipitation of authigenic quartz. |
| Detrital quartz from an igneous source is usually substantially brighter in luminescence than quartz of an authigenic origin. |
| Later, authigenic quartz was precipitated and carbonate phases were partly silicified. |
| The occurrence of authigenic zeolites suggests deposition in hypersaline lacustrine waters in closed basins. |
| The trend is produced by the presence of variable amounts of hemipelagic mud in the authigenic carbonates. |
| The Gracisce packstones contain a rich foraminiferal assemblage, composed of larger and planktonic foraminifera along with authigenic glauconite. |
