Photomicrograph of typical physico-chemical incrustation of calcite: showing the radial structure interrupted by thin concentric zones of limonite granules. The irregular black layer at the base and the small rounded cushion shaped area near the center are spongy algal deposits, which appear almost opaque because they consist of calcite that is almost cryptocrystalline. Enlarged 10 diameters. From the Tipton tongue of the Green River formation, sec. 21, T. 4 N., R. 101 W: Sweetwater County, Wyoming. 1923. Marks on this photo correspond to plate 34-C in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 154. 1929.
