The unconformity is irregular, but dolomitization clearly extends both above and below it.
Some smaller cavities, or larger cavities with restricted access to the unconformity, were apparently filled by sediment that trickled down into the fissure system.
Such a major unconformity changed the depositional profile considerably.
The unconformity would thus represent a quiescent interval of perhaps 90 ka.
Amphibolites from the unconformity (site 2) have only poorly stable magnetizations.
The angular unconformity below this flow attests to a period of erosion during which the older succession was worn down to form a seaward palaeoslope.
Unconformity and the tuff layer is estimated to be a few hundreds of metres (section is only partially exposed).
The basal unconformity is undulating and can be traced intermittently for 2-3 km in the southeast outcrops.
