Folk Classification Ooids
Dunham Classification Ooids
Common Grains Ooids & micritized bioclasts
Sorting Well sorted

This is a typical fine grained oolitic sediment that accumulated at the marign of a high energy ebb tidal delta shoal, that is also the site of the accumulation of bioclast fragments.
