Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:ooidal,shelly/skeletal lithified packstone
Lithology description: rocks that occur with about a qtr-mile of the reef [presumably the marginal shelf and back reef rocks] are calcarenites with less than 10% quartz and from 10-80% oolitic grains. [called spergenites]. they are composed of shell debris, simple, composite and oolitic grains set in a clear calcite cement. clay sized crystals...are almost absent.
Environment:shallow subtidal indet.
