Polished transverse section of reef shown in Bradley photo 209; showing alternate algal and inorganic layers, the irregular light colored layers consists of the molds of Chlorellopsis coloniata and typical spongy algal deposit. The black and gray finely banded layers are of inorganic origin and owe their dark color to disseminated pyrite. Enlarged 3 diameters. Compare with the photomicrograph of thin section of part of the same reef shown in Bradley photo 242. Specimen is from near the base of the Tipton tongue of Green River formation in NW 1/4 16, T.24 N., R. 101 W. Sweetwater County, Wyoming. 1923. Plate 45-A in U.S. Geological Survey.
