OOLITIC LIMESTONE #1
A pure oolitic limestone with spar cement. The oolites are white, rounded, and concentrically layered, in the sand sized range. In some of the broken oolites we can see the seed in the middle which began the oolite, and the concentric layers by which the oolite was built. In the unbroken examples the oolite just looks like a tiny pearl.
