41.0 Packstone-Wackestone. Ward Cove, north-central Broadford Quadrangle, Virginia. Cream-colored and gray fossils and fossil fragments are immersed here in a dark gray lime mud matrix.  Where very abundant and commonly touching, the abundant fossils render the rock a packstone. Locally, where the fragments are less abundant, the rock is a wackestone. [Scale is provided by the 1.8 cm black end of a pencil.]
