Muckros Head Sandstone
Muckros Head Sandstone
Sandstone can contain varying amounts of calcite cement. Calcite is soluble in water, so sandstones containing a lot of calcite tend to become pitted or honeycombed as rain or sea water removes the cement. The upper bed in this view is well pitted by comparison with the ones below it.
