Summary
A number of illustrations are presented, which show some characteristics of the reefs occurring in the Upper Visby and Hogklint Beds of Gotland. These series should probably be correlated with the uppermost Llandoverian and Lower Wenlockian. Reef growth took place as the water became progressively shallower. There are no reefs in the lower part of the Upper Visby Beds, which consist of marl with limestone Ienses, and was formed in relatively deep water. No reefs occur in the uppermost Hogklint, which consists of an algal limestone formed in very shallow water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
