	OOLITE - LoveToKnow Article on OOLITE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The oolites are usually divided into: the Upper or Portland Oolile, comprising the Purbeck, Portland and Kimeridge stages; the Middle or Oxford Oolite, including the Corallian, Oxfordian and Kellaways beds; and the Lower Oolites, with the Cornbrash, Great or Bath Oolite (Bathonian), Fullonian and the Inferior Oolite (Bajocian).
		The Inferior Oolite of Yorkshire differs from that of the Cotteswold district; in place of the marine limestones of the latter area there is a thick series of sands and sandstones with shales and beds of coal; these deposits are mainly estuarine with occasional marine beds.
		In Skye and Raasay the Inferior Oolite is represented by sandstones.

	Oolite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oolites are sedimentary rocks composed of ooids, which is a spherical grain composed of concentric layers.
		Oolitic hematite occurs at Red Mountain near Birmingham, Alabama along with oolitic limestone.
		Some example Oolitic limestone, a common term for an oolite, was formed in the United Kingdom during the Jurassic period, and forms the Cotswold Hills and part of the North Yorkshire Moors.

	Oolitic limestone
		The oolites are white, rounded, and concentrically layered, in the sand sized range.
		In some of the broken oolites we can see the seed in the middle which began the oolite, and the concentric layers by which the oolite was built.
		The oolites are commonly found in large dunes (megaripples); if you could be there you could scoop up the oolites in your arms and hands.

		An Oolite (or an oolith or ooid) is a sphere typically consisting of several concentric layers of calcite or aragonite (forms of calcium carbonate) that was created by precipitation in the supersaturated warm waters of shallow tropical seas.
		Oolites are formed when a nucleus, typically a sand particle or shell fragment, accumulates a layer of calcite around it as currents roll it around on the sea bed.
		Oolitic limestone, a limestone consisting of many compressed oolites, was formed in the United Kingdom during the Jurassic period, and forms the Cotswold Hills.

		Beyond it the chapel ([30], 1863-9) is of Ancaster oolite, with a roof of green Lake District slate.
		The green colour is due to the high proportion of volcanic ash in the original Ordovician rocks of the Lake District, in contrast with the predominantly sedimentary composition of grey or purple Welsh slates.

	04/05/1995 - Whether or not organic rock, such as "Miami oolite rock" should be considered by OSHA as "stable rock". (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Your constituents are concerned that "Miami oolite rock" is an organic rock and does not meet OSHA's definition and, therefore, does not qualify for the exemption.
		After discussing the matter with several soil mechanics experts, we feel it would be inappropriate to change the definition of "stable rock" to include "Miami oolite rock." Although oolite can sometimes exhibit the properties of stable rock, it is often interspersed with sand seams which are not stable.
		In addition, oolite rock poses a potential cave-in hazard because of the high angle of fracture that occurs when it is broken, as can happen during excavation operations.

	The crustacea discovered
		The oolite system is largely developed in England, France, Westphalia, and Northern Italy; it appears in Northern India and Africa, and patches of it exist in Scotland, and in the vale of the Mississippi.
		Yet there is a great change in the materials of the rocks of the two formations, shewing that while the bottoms of the seas of the one period had been chiefly arenaceous, those of the other were chiefly clayey and limy.
		While the new red sandstone shews comparatively scanty traces of organic creation, those in the oolite are extremely abundant, particularly in the department of animals, and more particularly still of sea mollusca, which, it has been observed, are always the more conspicuous in proportion to the predominance of calcareous rocks.

	LOWER TRIASSIC OOLITES IN TETHYS: A SEDIMENTOLOGIC RESPONSE TO THE END-PERMIAN MASS EXTINCTION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Lower Triassic oolites are found in a recurring facies association with anachronistic carbonates in the Tethyan region in a belt extending from northern Italy through Turkey into South China.
		The oolites can be regarded as “disaster deposits” that formed in the aftermath of the end-Permian mass extinction, just as basal Triassic stromatolites and other microbialites have been interpreted as “disaster forms.” In Early Triassic time, minimal grazing and bioturbation by marine benthos allowed for the widespread development of biomats and related structures.
		Although the vast majority of oolite deposits are unrelated to biologic crises, we suggest that upon closer examination many oolites, especially those in otherwise oolite-poor periods, may prove to be extinction-related sediments.

		Whatever you want to call it, it is called oolite by the dealers that sell the rough material and cabochons.
		I cannot find any of the material from Wyoming called oolitic algae on the internet, although it is called oolite a number of times.
		I think the dealers would know what you were asking for if you asked for oolitic aglae, but that is not always the case with some of the lapidary material that is labeled by dealers and others not in conformance with mineralogy nomenclature.
