This sample is a fine-grained limestone that consists predominantly of calcite, with a high volume of allochems in the form of various types of bioclasts. Minor coarser-grained calcite and narrow quartz veinlets also traverse this sample.
4.1.1 Macroscopic Features
This sample is a fine-grained, pale grey sedimentary rock that is competent (flexed during formation) in nature, and […]

Samples were examined macroscopically and then a diamond saw was used to section each sample, after which representative samples were used in the preparation of a thin and a polished section. Thin sections were studied using transmitted light microscopy and individual phases within the sample were identified by their optical properties.
Polished sections were examined using […]
