Description

Non-calcareous well-packed groundmass and silt grain size feldspars and sedimentary rocks; very few coarse sand grain size of sedimentary and gabbro rock fragments, mostly altered. Fossils are absent and the calcareous inclusions are very poor. There is no evidence of clay mixing. The groundmass packing and the composition of the inclusions differ from those of the local fabrics of Misis, which contain micritic limestone, fossils, and chert.
