Decent-sized hand sample. Billet. Thre types of limestone: red, cream, and grey. Red is fine-grained and transitions to the cream limestone. Cream is micritic. Grey appears to be brecciated blocks. Calcite veins and a single vug on cut surface. Original label: Section across sill. B sits on top of A. C is separate and highest. |
