Figure F7. A.
Unit III microfacies from Sample 194-1192B-12X-3,
25-27 cm, under cross-polarized light. This photomicrograph
illustrates a skeletal wackestone with planktonic foraminifers (pf) and quartz (qz).
Quartz grains are ~300 µm in diameter and are irregularly distributed. B.
Unit III microfacies from Sample 194-1192B-12X-3, 25-27 cm, under
cross-polarized light. This photomicrograph illustrates skeletal wackestone with
planktonic foraminifers, thin-shelled fragments, quartz, glauconite, and pyrite.
C. Unit III microfaciesfrom Sample 194-1192B-12X-3, 25-27 cm,
under plane-polarized light. This photomicrograph illustrates a skeletal
wackestone with planktonic and benthic foraminifers. Benthic foraminifers are
pervasively glauconitized, whereas planktonic foraminifers are not. The former
could represent reworked grains from older sediment or could originate from a
coeval but shallower depositional setting.
