The section shows extremely finely divided calcite, slightly and irregularly recrystallized, forming the matrix, and containing many small fragments of thin shells, some of which are impregnated with pyrites, and many tiny crystals and radiating grains of clear carbonate. Granules of partly oxidized pyrite and hydrocarbon streaks are present. Narrow anastomosing fractures filled with calcite are numerous. Limestone, pelitomorphic, microclastizoic, fracture-veined.
