Weathered surface of Worland mound-flank facies. Algal plates,
brachiopods, gastropods, and clasts containing encrusting algae are
visible here. This is the fauna and flora that lived on the mound, and
whose remains were washed off the mound by wave action during
storms. View the polished slab to see detail of the fabric of this
