- Matrix
-
Oxidised orange-red fabric; brown (PPL), dark brown (XP).
Semi-heterogeneous matrix, non-calcerous with low optical activity.
- ca. 45-60% - Inclusions
-
Quartz (++; mono++, poly--, weathering and alteration), sedimentary rock detritus (-; quartz arenite, weathering and alteration), chert/flint (-), metamorphic rock detritus (-, low grade), feldspars (--; plagioclase, microcline, weathering and alteration), muscovite mica (++; el), O/Fe (+).
The coarse fraction consists of medium sand, the fine fraction consists of very fine to fine sand. Grains are generally rounded to subangular. Overall the fabric is poorly sorted and poorly orientated, single to double spaced.
- ca. 30-40% - Voids
-
Many small planar/channel voids and few vughs, well aligned, no infill.
- ca. 10-15% - Diagnostic features
- The fabric is characterized by a semi-heterogeneous oxidised matrix with low optical activity and moderately porosity. Dominant quartz and muscovite mica inclusions with frequent opaques/iron oxides, few sedimentary and metamorphic rock detritus and chert/flint, and rare feldspars. Overall poorly sorted fabric.
- Additional information
- Partial slip on outer exterior, translucent in PPL.
