The Karinu Member consists mainly of rough-bedded skeletal packstone with tempestite interlayers, pyritized lithoclasts, rounded skeletons of stromatoporoids, and numerous pyritized discontinuity surfaces, indicating deposition in the inner part of the open shelf (IIIa) facies zone, from time to time influenced by storm waves and currents.
