Nature of the rocks:
The nature of the rocks on which the tracks were made indicates a
marine origin, composed out of dolomitic-marly limestone in
regular 10-15 cm. thick layers, with the seams of marl in between.
The fossils in part of the layers are chiefly of marine gastropods of
shallow-water character. Imprints of terrestrial plants were found
in some of the layers, indicating the nearness of the shore. In
certain layers, concentrations may be observed of reddish-brown
earthy material, which is obviously derived from the adjacent
land area (Avnimelech and Bervoets; Khalaf-von Jaffa, 2006).
