Description:

Four gray compact pieces of limestone (GR756a-d). Powder from the sample fizzes with HCL, but the HCL does not fizz directly on the specimen, which makes is more than likely dolomitic. Collected from the Prong of Kings Creek near Confluence, 2 miles southeast of Grover, North Carolina, c. 1900.
