La serie estratigráfica frasniense de la Formación Nocedo está constituida por dos secuencias de tercer orden organizadas en el Miembro Gordón y el Miembro Millar, en las cuales aparecen tres intervalos calizos: las Calizas del Molino en la parte superior del Miembre Gordón, las Calizas de Varga en la base del Miembro Millar (aquí propuesto como una nueva unidad a diferenciar de las Calizas del Molino), y las Calizas de Crémenes en el techo del Miembro Millar. Las Calizas del Molino se han estudiado en dieciocho secciones a lo largo de un perfil este-oeste de 70 km en la parte sur de las Montañas Cantábricas. La caliza representa una barra costera de carbonato esqueletal en un ambiente mixto siliciclástico y carbonatado, localizado entre la parte continental del geoanticlinal Asturiano y la parte distal más profunda de plataforma predominantemente siliciclástica. Las Calizas del Molino consisten en tres tipos de facies que representan back shoal, shoal y foreshoal. Las Calizas del Molino se depositaron durante el Highstands Systems Tract tardío de la secuencia inferior. En el modelo deposicional propuesto, la deposición de carbonato estaba gobernada por corrientes controladas por el nivel relativo del mar. El transporte lateral efectivo de siliciclastos sobre la plataforma tuvo lugar durante tiempos en los que la profundidad del agua era suficiente para que se estableciese un sistema de corrientes. Conforme decreció la profundidad del agua, la sedimentación siliciclástica se redujo y los carbonatos la fueron reemplazando progresivamente.
