[en] The "red crinoïdal marble" of Baelen represents a local member of the Souverain-Pré Formation (Middle Famennian). At this stratigraphial level, this carbonate mud-mound complex is rather unique worldwide and its occurrence has been related to block-faulting sedimentary conditions. In comparison with similar Frasnian reefs, stromatoporoids, colonial rugose corals and tabulate are absent [fr] Le "marbre rouge à crinoïdes de Baelen" représente un membre local de la Formation de Souverain-Pré (Famennien moyen). A ce niveau stratigraphique, ces monticules de boue carbonatées sont assez uniques dans le monde et leurs conditions de formation ont été associées à une tectonique synsédimentaire en "block-faulting". En comparaison avec les récifs similaires frasniens, les stromatopores, coraux rugueux coloniaux et tabulés sont absents.
