| Description: | A darkish grey limestone with saccharoidal texture, which shows bedding by alternation of paler and darker grey tints. Composed of a mosaic of grains of carbonate, 0.1 - 0.2 mm across, often elongated in the direction of bedding. Scattered among the carbonate are prismatic sections of a mineral almost wholly replaced by turbid calcite. In one place a relic of the original mineral suggests itself as tremolite. Limestone, medium-grained, grain-foliated. SL0247. Britrocks S35347. Magnification x40. Light PPL. |
