"lime.
At the southern end of the quarry
they encountered an extremely large
module measuring at least 18 feet
through. There is another one still
unshaped of about the same dimension.
The strata all around the module
run up and over them making a
complete dome shaped maps. The
module itself is much harder than
anything surrounding it and seems to
be made of consolidated masses of the
limestone which runs in all directions
interspersed with lay coral and
blue black crystals. Also deposi-
ditions and an Arthurs pteropods
and spirifers... This lump would
make good lime were it not for the
clay or dirt it holds and the crystals
which will not burn.
