- Matrix
-
Oxidised orange-red fabric; brown (PPL), dark brown (XP).
Semi-heterogeneous matrix, non-calcerous with low to medium optical activity.
- ca. 60-75% - Inclusions
-
Quartz (++; mono++, poly--), sedimentary rock detritus (+-; quartz arenite), chert/flint (+-), metamorphic rock detritus (+-, low grade), feldspars (-; plagioclase, weathering and alteration), muscovite mica (+; el & eq, ff), glauconite (+-; red body color, cf), O/Fe (+), clay pellets (+; iron-rich).
The coarse fraction consists of medium sand, the fine fraction consists of very fine to fine sand, possibly bimodal (natural). Grains are generally rounded to subangular. Overall the fabric is very poorly sorted and very poorly orientated, close to double spaced.
- ca. 20-30% - Voids
-
Large vughs and few small planar voids, poorly aligned, some infill.
- ca. 5-10% - Diagnostic features
- activity and moderately low porosity. Dominant quartz inclusions with frequent muscovite mica, opaques/iron oxides and iron-rich clay pellets, common sedimentary and metamorphic rock detritus, chert/flint and glauconite, and few feldspars. Overall very poorly sorted fabric.
