The rock units in the study area are divided into limestone and foidite units. The limestone unit consists of crystalline, reef, and clastic limestone, with the rocks typically displaying a fresh grayish-white color and a weathered gray-brown color. Specific in wackestone samples, the rock shows a depositional texture with unbound components dominated by fossils and exhibit moldic porosity due to dissolution. At the outcrop scale, a conformable contact is observed between reef limestone and pyroclastic breccia, representing the foidite unit. Some of these rocks also contain foraminiferal fossils and exhibit moldic porosity due to dissolution. At the outcrop scale, a conformable contact is observed between reef limestone and pyroclastic breccia, representing the foidite unit.
