Figure 14: Pinda Group. A-D) Slightly porous dolograinstone, partly dolomitized. Only the outer parts of calcareous grains are replaced by cloudy dolomite, the cores are not. It is not clear whether the rather hyaline dolomite between the allochems results from replacement only or it includes some cement. The allochem cores, mostly ooids, are partly leached. E-F) "Fully" dolomitized porous dolograinstone. Porosity probably results from the complete leaching of undolomitized allochem cores in a former partly dolomitized tight dolograinstone. A-F) TL transmitted light. For confidentiality purposes the sample depths and the name of wells are not provided.
