Description

The clay is carbonatic, silty (~10%), tan in PPL with some iron oxides. The silt is mostly quartz but, also contains some feldspars and shell fragments. The inclusions consist mainly of well-sorted sub-angular quartz sand (~30% up to 200 µm), poorly-sorted lime stone, which is common and its sizes range from sand size to huge chunks. Also seen are eroded kurkar fragments, algae fragments, foraminiferal-chalk, sea shells and other micro-fauna .
