Folk Classification Cavernous intramicrite being tranformed to marble
Dunham Classification Cavernous pelpackstone undergoing tranformation to marble
Common Grains Intraclasts or micritized grains
Sorting Moderately well sorted
Rounding Rounded
Micritization & envelopes Grains are intraclasts or micritized pisolites
Cement & diagenetic fabric Earlier development of pendulous cement filling cavities in intrmicrite. Final fill be calcite spar. Complete replacement of cavernous intramicrite and matrix by marble
