The matrix is reddish-brown to brown in plane polarized light, dark brown in cross polarized light; silty to fine; and probably calcareous in most cases, with high micaceous content. 

Coarse inclusions (>0.06 mm) include common serpentine (sub-rounded to rounded); mono-crystalline quartz (sub-angular to rounded, some cracked or having ferruginous zones), and limestone; there are fewer calcareous concentrations (sand sized), opaques and textural-concentration-features (Tcf; dark brown, rounded, some very fine quartz inclusions); rare calcite, poly-crystalline quartz, chert, feldspars, mica and kurkar(?). Silty/fine inclusions (<0.06 mm) include common quartz, opaques, mica laths (reaching 10% of the slide area in the FW1(m) variant) and feldspar. The mineralogical composition, as determined by petrography, could fit sources in Cilicia as well as certain regions in Crete and north-eastern Cyprus.
