Website for rock climbing enthusiasts, referring to a cliff-face in Sardinia:
"[La falesia s'Istentales] offre un'ottima roccia di concrezioni calcaree su tiri di placca verticale"
I appreciate it is describing the character of the rock, but I am unsure whether it indicates a smooth surface punctuated with the "concrezioni calcaree" (and how to translate that?), or whether the whole thing is comprised of "concrezioni calcaree" which form a smooth, continuous surface.

Comment: "Thanks very much. I think I will just use limestone on its own, as the nature of the text calls more for a natural sounding answer than a strict description."
