Apollonia2117 Matrix: Clayey;
Sedimentary Carbonates; Angular opaque minerals at the fine fraction (2% - sizing up to 100µm), subrounded at the coarser grain sizes. Quartz silt (1%) with few amount of
plagioclase. Dense carbonate crystals (15% sizing 10µm - occasionally 20µm or 30µm); Calcareous clay.
Soil Type: rendzina Inclusions: exhibiting coastal bioclasts (beach sand) and limestone, some silty and quartz. Rounded fragments of fossiliferous coastal limestone
(Beach rock), separate fossils (<650µm) are frequent to dominant. Calcareous corallinean algae Amphiroa genus fossils, with some mollusc shell fragments.
Replacement chert (smoky to brown-stained, up to 1.3mm) Frequent local intergrowth of chalcedony. Birefringence: Zones of preferred optical
orientation, birefringent Frequence: about 3% to 5% Few foraminifers, Very rare silt (<1%),
Iron oxide stain.
Inclusions: LIM, CHERP. CHA, QTZ, QIT, MF, CAL, FDP, FOX, CP
Roundness and Angularity: Subrounded to subangular
fragments of micritic limestone (<1mm). Isolated
polycrystalline fragments of
policristalino quartz with common liquid and mineral
inclusions. Fine subangular to subrounded quartz sand grains
(150-180!m). Very rare rounded calcareous rock fragments, fine micritic calcite and microfossils
(<100!m). Spacing: Double-spaced
Orientation: Vertical Alignment: Moderate Texture: Very Poorly Sorted
Grain size distribution: Weakly bimodal Extinction: Undulose Crystal form: subhedral to euhedral Boundaries of inclusions: Sharp to Merging Optical Density: Low
Concordance: Concordant Firing: <700 No.
