| Description: | A grey and brownish, earthy limestone. The section shows almost equal proportions of brown argillaceous and calcareous material, among which thin rectangular sections (possibly pieces of thin-walled shells) are prominent. Remains of crinoids, polyzoa, shells and spines can be recognized but for the most part the calcareous material is small platy debris. Angular grains of quartz and shreds of muscovite and bleached biotite are common throughout the rock. Calcareous shale, clastizoic. SL0057. Britrocks S34539. Magnification x40. Light PPL. |
