Figure 11 e,f. (e) SEM photograph of epoxy pore cast of large Recent microporous peloid (P). Solid components (arrows) within the microporous peloid, as well as other solid grains (SG), were etched away during sample preparation. Interparticle (BP) porosity appears as solid epoxy (Holocene, North Caicos, British West Indies). (f) Higher magnification view of previous sample. Micropores in this Recent micritized grain are distinct from typical Arab-D micropores in microporous grains. Whereas Arab Formation micropores in microporous grains are straight tubular to laminar pores usually less than one micron in size, micropores in Recent micritized grains are more massive and equidimensional in form.
