sample_remark Volcanogenic sandstone. Glen et al 2010: ""INTERMEDIATE TO MAFIC VOLCANIC UNITS - These include basalts and andesites, informally referred to as the Louth volcanics. Amygdaloidal pillows and pillow fragments are common. Limestone fragments are present. Brunker (1968) cited a suggested Late Silurian fossil age based on J. W. Pickett, but this age is uncertain. More recent sampling of limestone fragments from Louth DH L2 yielded the conodont Ozarkodina remscheidensis, suggestive of Pridoli to Lochkovian ages, perhaps extending up into the Pragian (ie latest Silurian to Early Devonian). The sample Louth A is a volcanogenic sandstone from Louth DH L2, located on the Louth 1:100 000 sheet 7936 at GR 327115 6590685 and at a depth of 457--458 feet." Glen et al 2013: "Twenty-four detrital zircons from a volcaniclastic sandstone (Louth A) at a depth of 457-458 feet in drillhole Louth 2 were separated and analysed for their U-Pb ratios.
