END_COMPOSITION_DISCUSSION.
MICROSCOPIC_EXAMINATION:
Optical examination gives the following mineral mode:
70 vol% glauconite
population 1: average grain size= 230µm 65 vol%
population 2: average grain size= 8µm 5 vol%
30 vol% quartz and feldspar grains
population 3: average grain size= 260µm 30 vol%
average grain size populations = 234µm
Large rounded glauconite grains whose surfaces are 60% covered with smaller glauconite. Some of the quartz and feldspar grains are Fe-stained and partially glauconite coated. Glauconite grains have slight yellow-green pleochroism. G. Swayze
