Abstract

The specimens of pisolite which I have examined were obtained from two horizons, namely, the Coralline Oolite and base of the Inferior Oolite near Cheltenham. The pisolites are well known and have frequently been referred to by authors as fine types of oolitic granules, and in proof of this I may quote from Mr. H. B. Woodward's last edition of his Geology of England and Wales. Speaking of oolite granules the author says (p. 281), “ When these particles approach the size of a pea or bean, the rock is termed Pisolite, Pisolitic Limestone, or Pea-grit.”
