Description

The fabric is brown (PPL) with small opaque concretions. The silt is composed of only of igneous derived minerals mica, pyroxene olivine, and feldspathoids. the inclusions are mainly well sorted sub angular feldspathoids, clinopyroxene, epidote and eroded basalts (~15% 100-200μm), some glauconite is also evident. reaction rim is around the voids, probably as a result of new minerals formed in the high temperature where carbonate rock fragments were.
