hernesheir commented on the word plattenkalk
A very fine-grained limestone resulting from the precipitation of carbonate minerals. Minimal bioturbation of the accumulating sediments favors exquisite preservation/fossilization of the remains of any organisms therein enclosed. As a German noun, capitalization of the initial "p" wouldn't be frowned upon by me.
