Diagenetic history |
Larger calcite crystals replacing matrix |
Striking radial high energy ooid grains formed on the eastern margin of the sea which now is matched by the Sacramento Mountains. Note the mix of radial calcitic coats and concentric coats and how the radial fabric appears to be replacing the enclosing more micritic surface to these grains.
