| Lithologic constituents | Major
Sedimentary > Carbonate (Bed)Castner Limestone includes hornfels, conglomerate, dolomite, and diabase and is mostly light gray, green, and blue limestone, fine to coarse grained, lt. gray chert lenses, thin bedded, irreg. bedded in upper one-third; metamorphic minerals such as serpe Minor
Metamorphic > Granoblastic > Hornfels (Hornfels)hornfels present in the upper third of the Castner Limestone, thus is ranked a minor part of the whole map unit (Mundy Breccia and Castner Limestone, undivided). Hornfels very fine grained, dark gray, in many thin beds, laminated and contains a few beds Incidental
Sedimentary > Carbonate (Bed)Dolomite in the basal exposed beds of the Castner Limestone in the Franklin Mtns. The dolomite is white to light gray, one bed contains algal structures Tectonite > CataclastiteThe Mundy Breccia randomly oriented, black basalt boulders, angular to slightly rounded, in matrix of dark gray mudstone. thickness about 90 ft, as much as 250 ft maximum. |
