Macroscopic descriptionThis marble of Middle Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous age is lithologically a limestone. It comes as concordantly onto the sandstones of Lower Jurassic at the basement. Upper Cretaceous flyschoidal sandstones, marls and limestones conformably overlie this marble. Dry rose and pink is observed as veins, lenses or patches in the pink-beige background. Bilecik Pink, consisting of intraclasts made of rounded and crystallised micritic calcite; and fossile remnants, is cemented with sparitic matrix.This marble of Middle Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous age is lithologically a limestone.
