| Description: | Grey, brownish weathering dolomite. This specimen is Carboniferous Limestone Series in age. BGS sample number SL 97. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number S 34489. Photomicrograph details: Light: XPL, Magnification: x2.5. The sample is composed of irregular, interlocking grains of turbid dolomite, 0.5-0.2 mm, with accessory pyrite and disseminated fine carbonaceous particles. The dolomite grains are of varying size and form an uneven mosaic in the rock. Contiguous grains interpenetrate so that in the thin section detailed portions of one grain appear isolated within another diagenetically recrystallized structure. |
