| Description: | A pale grey, compact limestone, slightly dolomitic, composed of fragmentary crinoid remains with abundant polyzoan relics and some granular carbonate and kaolin in the interstices. Dr. C. J. Stubblefield has recognized the polyzoa as Trepostomatous forms including the genus Tabulipora. The rock effervesces freely with cold dilute HCl and treatment in Lemberg's solution shows that the granular carbonate of the base is mostly calcite, but some is probably dolomite. A little pyrite is present. Limestone, dolomitic, fossiliferous: encrinite. SL0047. Britrocks S34462(a). Magnification x40. Light XPL. |
