Covered in part 0.6 m 11 Crinoid wackestone, gray, with abundant tiny brachiopod fragments, common fusulinids, few Nodosia and biserial forams, rare bryozoans and Bellerophon gastropods, and very rare trilobite fragments 0.28 m 10 Foram, coated-shell fragment wackestone, white, with abundant loose and encrusting Calcivertella forams and tiny (0.5 mm thick by 1 mm long) bivalve and brachiopod fragments coated with foram, alga boundstone, few ostracodes, and rare crinoids 0.27 m 9 Foram, brachiopod fragment packstone, white, with abundant loose Calcivertella forams and tiny brachiopod fragments (not coated), common tiny phosphatic bone (?) fragments, many ostracodes, and very rare bryozoan fragments 0.2 m 8 Peloid, ostracode packstone lenses, gray, with medium-sand-sized micritic peloids 10% of rock, abundant ostracodes and very-fine-sand-sized quartz grains, many tiny (about 6 mm diameter) intraclasts of dense micrite and peloid alga boundstone, and few loose Calcivertella forams, interbedded with lime sand packstone, orange 0.05 m 7 Friable, lime-sand packstone, orange, with abundant fine- to medium-sand-sized lime grains 0.03-0.05 m 6 Lime-sand grainstone, orange, with coarse-sand-sized lime grains about 45% of rock, many granule- and pebble-sized clasts of laminated peloid, alga boundstone, gray, and rare tiny bivalve fragments. BP pores are generally filled with PE34 calcite cement 0.03-0.05 m 5 Shale, orange, silty (?) 0.05 m 4 Shale, gray to brown, fissile 0.08 m 3 Lime-breccia wackestone, cream white, with abundant brecciated (in situ?) flat and curved (fragments of stromatolite domes?) laminated mudstone fragments about 4 mm by 6 mm (small, pebble-sized), possible root traces, pervasive horizontal joints or fenestral pores filled with PE3 calcite cement. Abundant very-fine-sand-sized quartz toward top. Tiny boxwork features present toward base 0.05 m 2 Peloid, alga boundstone, cream white. Morphology: Laterally linked hemispheres and domes, 4.5 cm wide by 3 cm to 4 cm high, composed of layers of peloid, alga boundstone and dense micrite arched over brecciated micrite with pink gypsum crystals filling fracture pores 0.06 m 1 Shale, yellow
