| Description: | Darkish grey sandy dolomite. In section the rock is seen to be a sandstone composed of subangular grains of quartz cemented by amorphous material containing small aggregates of pyrite granules. This gives place to dolomite in patches, the dolomite being optically continuous over small areas. Scarce alkali-feldspar grains are present; zircon and tourmaline are accessory. Pyrite is abundant. Dolomitic sandstone, subpoikilocrystallic. SL0116. Britrocks S34589. Magnification x40. Light PPL. |
