<h3>Hand Specimen</h3>
<div class="element-text">Dark grey rock, mainly fine sand.<br />Does not react with acid, probably mainly quartz.<span> </span><br />Some glints of mica.<span> </span><br />Cement reacts with acid, so it is at least partially carbonate.<span> </span><br />Band of brown-grey material is due to weathering.</div>
</div>
<div class="element">
<h3>Thin-section</h3>
<div class="element-text">The thin-sections are only cut from dark grey, unweathered region of the rock. They are best viewed under high magnification.<br /><br />Sub-angular to sub-rounded quartz grains. Mainly fine sand, with a significant proportion of silt. &gt;15% clay, so this is a wacke.<br />A few white mica flakes and opaque grains.<br />The main cement is carbonate, though the grains are also partially cemented by the clay grade grains.</div>
