| Description: | Brownish-grey compact limestone. Fragmentary shells and polyzoa and foraminifera, ostracods and spines are embedded in a base recrystallized to granular calcite of grain 0.05 - 0.3 mm. The base is turbid with specks of opaque and brown materials much of which is residual from the tests and shells of fossils which have been obliterated by the recrystallization of the base. Pellicles of limonitic clay coat the recrystallized calcite grains. Limestone, fine-grained, microfossiliferous, zoichnic, granular. SL0083. Britrocks S34556. Magnification x40. Light PPL. |
