I appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>I've just looked up Oolitic Limestone on the internet . . .. <BR/><BR/>By the decription I found there (isn't Oolitic a wonderful word!) Portland Stone is an example.<BR/><BR/>I'm familiar with Portland Stone (you ask where this rock is . . . it is on the Weymouth side of Portland Harbour!)<BR/><BR/>But this rock is brown, not white / grey and doesn't have obvious fossils in it, which much of Portland Stone does.<BR/><BR/>I took this at a really interesting site. (To me!) It's a long area of this kind of stone, flat (discounting the bumps you can see in the picture) and under water when the tide comes in.<BR/><BR/>Any other ideas or further information?<BR/><BR/>(I'll look into 'Oolitic' further because there are often variations in the same thing . . . which may be so in this case.)<BR/><BR/>LucyLucy Corranderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743561298706555813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990121379662700939.post-72674831140321202422009-01-21T11:04:00.000+00:002009-01-21T11:04:00.000+00:00Lucy, It looks like an Oolitic Limestone, whereabo...Lucy, It looks like an Oolitic Limestone, whereabouts is it?
