- Matrix
-
Oxidised red fabric; brown (PPL), dark brown (XP).
Semi-heterogeneous matrix, non-calcerous with medium optical activity.
- ca. 50-65% - Inclusions
-
Quartz (++; mono+, poly-), sedimentary rock detritus (+-; quartz arenite), chert/flint (+-), metamorphic rock detritus (+-, low grade), feldspars (-; plagioclase, orthoclase), muscovite mica (+; el & eq), glauconite (+; red body color), O/Fe (+-), clay pellets/semi-plastics (-).
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, close to single spaced.
- ca. 20-30% - Voids
-
Many small planar voids and few vughs, well aligned, some infill.
- ca. 15-20% - Diagnostic features
- The fabric is characterized by a semi-heterogeneous oxidised matrix with medium optical activity and high porosity. Dominant quartz mica inclusions with frequent muscovite mica and glauconite, common sedimentary and metamorphic rock detritus, chert/flint and opaques/iron oxides, few feldspars and clay pellets/semi-plastics. Overall poorly sorted fabric.
