GRD01AST0: TS mislabelled W79-115-2. Slide 2: Alternating light and dark layers. Burrows in lighter layer? Light layer is radiolarian-rich. Dark layer is clay with few to no radiolarians. Polished a bit thin in center of slide. (C. Eichler)

GRD01AST1: TS mislabelled W79-115-1. Slide 1: Alternating light and dark layers. Light layer: Very nicely preserved radiolarians (30%) and star shaped fossils. Fish teeth in red clay. Dark: Vertical burrows? Fewer radiolarians. (C. Eichler)
