In these Cambrian limestones there is considerable
infrastructural encrinites that are much common
in the lower zone of limestone. The pieces are then
always less than 3/8 of an inch and of any length
of 1, 3 inches though more commonly around 2 inches.
These pieces of the low zone limestone are more often
directed through or often stand at various angles.
Baron calls these 'edge-wise encrinites' but the
rule is not to find them standing on an edge. This
making is undoubtedly due to wave action in
shallower sea, say in depths of more than 100 feet
and less than 200 feet.
