| Outstanding feature | Fine and medium grained equant calcite crystals replace micrite matrix |
| Folk Classification | Sparse pelmicrite |
| Dunham Classification | Sparse pellet packstone |
| Common Grains | Ghosts of pellets but common calcite rhombs |
| Sorting | Poorly sorted |
| Rounding | Some indistinct rounding |
| Micritization & envelopes | Grains are ghosts of peloids and micrite envelopes |
| Cement & diagenetic fabric | Complete replacement of pelloids bimodal equant calcite |
| Porosity | None |
| Depositional Setting | Low energy shoal |
| Diagenetic history | Recrystallized pelmicrite |
Striking recrystallization of micrite with bimodal grain growth mozaic. This is the grain growth or neomorphism of Folk.
