GRD00U1T0: Slide 1: Two silicified limestone beds and two limestone nodules surrounded by siliceous matrix. Small angular quartz grains and siliceous pockets in all limestones. Trace opaques in limestone beds, but not in the nodules. Limestone is cloudy. Perhaps recrystallized pelletal limestone? (C. Eichler)
GRD00U1T1: Slide 2: Cloudy calcite rhombs and opaques in silicic matrix. Rhombs become more abundant in the lower portion of the thin section. The rhombs are prismatic. (C. Eichler)
