Fabric is a light red-brown color in PPL, dotted with silt-sized opaque ferruginous nodules and mica laths distributed in a cross-hatched pattern. This combination of mica laths in a reddish-brown non-calcareous groundmass is a diagnostic indicator of this fabric. The fabric is silty, making up roughly 10% of the whole. The silt fraction is composed of mica, hornblende, quartz, plagioclase feldspar, and iron oxides. Voids are rare, >3% of the fabric, and vugh-shaped (?). Textural features are also common. Aplastic components can be 60–500 microns in size, are generally rounded to well-rounded, and show a serial distribution. Mono and polycrystalline quartz are dominant, ca. 50% of all coarse components. Plagioclase and microcline feldspars are frequent. Mica (biotite?) schist grains are few, as are iron oxides and calcareous material.
