Extraclasts/Lithoclasts

1. Lithoclasts

Ooidal packstone with micritized ooids resedimented in basinal setting including angular carbonate lithoclast of peloidal grainstone to packstone likely deriving from older shallow-water carbonate facies.

2. Lithoclasts

Skeletal grainstone with crinoids and fragments of bryozoans with a lithoclast of undetermined composition containing red argillaceous matrix.

3. Lithoclasts

Grainstone with oncoids (with at nuclei micritized ooids) and peloids cemented by blocky sparite during burial including a carbonate lithoclast of ooidal grainstone with isopachous rims of fibrous cement.

4. Extraclasts

Skeletal packstone containing common quartz grains associated with barnacle and bryozoan fragments, coralline algae oncoids (rhodoids) and a rounded extraclast.

5. Extraclasts

Packstone to wackestone with planktonic foraminifers and Inoceramus fragments indicative of Late Cretaceous age with a wackestone clast containing calpionellids indicative of an older age (latest Jurassic-earliest Cretaceous).

6. Extraclasts

Lower Jurassic grainstone-rudstone rich in extraclasts of eroded Carboniferous Limestone. This is a transgressive rocky shoreline deposit. Field of view approximately 13 mm.
