Coral limestone

[[underlined]] Notes on Core #2 [[/underlined]] - 600 - 625' (see over)

Core consists of 3 oriented sections and 12 smaller, unoriented pieces (one of these sent to Cole 5/19/52 as Sample A).

[[start of arrow pointing down to "Cole (5/26/52) gave a coral mold" below]]

Largest oriented piece is at top - length 5". It is a hard, cavernous, ^[[recrystallized]], coralliferous 1s in which the corals without exception appear as molds. Som of cavities or fractures are veneered with yellow calcite, others are filled with larger xls of same material. Most of determinable structure is that of coral; moll. molds poor. Many (if not all) of corals are obviously [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] in position of growth.

Small unoriented pieces are similar to above; middle oriented piece has many mollusk molds as has bottom piece - some of these may make id. squeezes.
