Small area of the polished specimen in Bradley 245; this shows a part of the oolitic sandstone which contains fragments of micro crystalline calcite with ferruginous oolite grains suspended in the positions in which they formed; fragments of algal limestone consisting almost wholly of Chlorellopsis and an unusually large oolite grains that show the wide banding characteristic of all the oolites in this bed. Rio Blanco County, Colorado.
