Spongolites from the Arnsbergian of County Limerick, Ireland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Abstract
Spongolite beds are common in the basal Namurian shales of Co. Clare and Co. Limerick, and are especially well developed north of Ardagh, Co. Limerick. Spongolites from this locality are described and are considered to represent a local deposit of siliceous monactinellid spicules. They are compared with the “phtanites” of the Assise de Chokier of Belgium, which are of the same age and similarly preserved. Stylolite seams developed within the rocks are briefly described.
