Science - Geology / red Bilbao marble
Catalan term or phrase: para-recifal
Aquestes darreres varietats de calcàries són de color vermell, degut a la presència d’òxids de ferro, i constitueixen el rojo Bilbao. Es poden distingir diferents litologies: calcaria recifal massiva, calcaria ***para- recifal*** estratificada, i alternances de calcaries i margues.

The text is part of a description of red Bilbao marble. I am not sure how to translate 'para- recifal' here.

Many thanks in advance!

It is an adjective formed from the noun "reef".
It is not very common, more often the word "reef" itself is used as an adjective.
