Figure F24.
Photomicrograph showing a sandstone from Subunit VIA (Sample 194-1193A-70X-CC,
4 cm; 431.2 mbsf). Poorly sorted quartz grains (Q) are accompanied
by subordinate bioclasts (mainly echinoderm (E) and bryozoan fragments) and dark
grains of phosphate (X) and oxidized glauconite. The grains have an isopachous
coating of very fine crystalline, equant calcite (1), which coarsens outward
from the grain surface. Echinoderm fragments are enclosed in syntaxial calcite
cement overgrowths (S).
