| Description: | Pale brownish-grey limestone, showing scattered cleavage faces of calcite and dull dark greenish specks. The rock is composed of the debris of shells, spines, occasional Calcisphaera, foraminifera, algae and scarce crinoidal remains in a very fine-grained base of calcite granules, 0.002 - 0.01 mm. Locally the base is recrystallized. The walls of many of the fossil fragments are impregnated with pyrite. Bituminous matter occurs sparsely in foraminifera chambers and in small clots. Limestone, pelitomorphic to fine-grained, microfossiliferous, clastizoic. SL0084. Britrocks S34557(a). Magnification x40. Light PPL. |
