| Description: | A pale, flesh-grey, compact dolomite with flinty fracture. It is traversed by thin cracks filled with white dolomite. In thin section the rock is seen to be composed of small grains of dolomite, 0.01-0.05 mm across, with veins and patches of coarser grain, up to 0.3 mm. Quartz grains, 0.05-0.07 mm across, are numerous, but on the whole probably form less than 5 per cent by volume of the rock. There are occasional films of limonitic silt of stylolitic character. Dolomite, Euteous, fine-grained, breccioid. SL0255. Britrocks S35355. Magnification x40. Light PPL. |
