stylolites formed by chemical dissolution of the solid limestone by pressure solution. The clay residue solution forms a thin membrane that separates the rock in peg-like structures. Vertikalstylolithen interlocking layers together. In the bevel of the cross section through the jagged stylolites show strong, almost fractal lines, known for its similarity to the cranial sutures (sutures) as Drucksuturen. Beautiful to see this often in the "Jura marble from the one window sills made. G EORG W AGNER has described the formation of the stylolites beautiful.
