"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.
