p.129: Northeast of St-Ursanne the oncoids be come so concentrated that they form an oncolite. This local facies was called Caquerelle pisolite by Ziegler (1962. p. 18). This must be distinguished from the Couches de la Caquerelle of Rollier (1892. p. 282). a synonym of the Buix Member (see above). The Caquerelle oncolite was figured by Pümpin (1965 Fig. 6 and 7). At present the oncolite is well exposed in the unpublished section RG 338 at the locality Côte du Frêne near Asuel. Canton Jura. LK 1085 St-Ursanne. at coordinates 581.950/247.990 along a forest road 400 m southwest of Les Malettes.
