| Description: | Dark grey, fine-grained crystalline limestone. The section shows irregular, diffuse relics of very fine-grained black-powdered limestone in a recrystallized base of granular brownish calcite, among which small grains and aggregates of quartz are scattered. The form of the quartz indicates recrystallization. Black dust, graphitic or carbonaceous, and granules are distributed through the recrystallized calcite. One recrystallized oolith was observed and in one place the rock is oophasmic. Limestone with some quartx, varigrained, partly granoblastic, oophasmic. SL0127. Britrocks S34575. Magnification x40. Light XPL. |
