<h3>Hand Specimen</h3>

<div class="element-set">
<div class="element">
<div class="element-text">
<p>Very poorly sorted.Angular to sub-angular clasts up to 30 mm long. Randomly orientated.<span> </span><br />Clasts mainly pale grey, some white, some red.<span> </span><br />Red-brown colour of the fine-grained matrix indicates<span> </span><span>iron staining</span>.<span> </span><br />Matrix and some clasts fizz with acid, indicating that they are made of carbonate. This is a limestone.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="element">
<h3>Thin-section</h3>
<div class="element-text">Variety of clasts: sedimentary rock fragments, carbonate and feldspar crystals, fine-grained quartz and carbonate, some bioclasts. Clasts are quite angular.<br />Matrix of very fine-grained clays containing fragments of quartz and carbonate.</div>
</div>
<div class="element">
<h3>Rock History</h3>
<div class="element-text">Clast-supported. Clasts are angular, so sediments cannot have been transported far. (NB, if this rock were matrix supported the clasts could have been transported a long way without losing their angularity.)<span> </span><br />Probably scree accumulation during desert conditions, from approximately the same horizon as L326.</div>
</div>
<div class="element">
<h3>Advanced Notes</h3>
<div class="element-text">
<p><span>Iron-staining</span><span> </span><br />Hematite (Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) → red (blood-red, cherry-red, brown-red) iron-staining<span> </span><br />Limonite (FeO(OH)•nH<sub>2</sub>O) → yellow or brown iron-staining</p>
<p>The red-brown colour of this rock is probably produced by hematite.</p>
