The algal plates in this limestone may have had a similar origin. These plates are now composed of calcite, however. So, if originally aragonite, they were replaced. The algal plates did not closely encrust each other or the substrate, but were separated by open space in which finely fragmented skeletal material and lime mud accumulated as internal sediment. 4, record 1, English, - algal%20plate
