In the process of being buried under other sediments, these ooids can fuse into a solid mass of sedimentary rock called oolite. |
|
At Taskent the upper layer of oolite is more resistant but sharply truncated beneath stromatolites of the overlying Gevne Formation. |
|
The size of the oolite reflects the time they have had exposed to the water before they were covered with later sediment. |
|
Rogenstein is a term describing a specific type of oolite in which the cementing matter is argillaceous. |
|
Upper Paoli beds reveal a well developed oolite bar containing large undeformed oolites with thick cortical rinds, in a very clear spar cement. |
|
Horse Hill-1 will test a number of conventional stacked oil targets at the proven productive Portland sandstone, Great Oolite limestone and Corallian sandstone levels. |
|
The hillfort itself is an outlier of a Jurassic ridge which dominates the eastern part of the study area, with light calcareous soils on an Inferior Oolite cap over sandstone. |
|
The areas were selected to minimise estimated strip ratio and maximise exposure to the thickest portions of the higher grade magnetic Oolite zones of mineralisation. |
|
Carboniferous Hunts Bay Oolite lies under much of south Wales. |
