| Description: | Grey, very fine-grained dolomite with conchoidal fracture. Composed of granular dolomite, of 0.01 mm grain, of a ferriferous variety with the ordinary refractive index variable and reaching fully 1.695, corresponding to about 20 per cent of ferrodolomite. The rock contains a few scattered fossil fragments, some of which are recrystallized while others retain the original organic fabric. Argillaceous matter renders the dolomite turbid; tiny pebbles and grains of quartz and carbonaceous particles are present. Ferriferous dolomite, luteous, micrograined, zoophasmic. SL0119. Britrocks S34592. Magnification x40. Light PPL. |
