This is very hard, fine and thin-walled, often with a reddish core in a reduced dark grey-black fabric. Common 0.5-2mm rounded red brown inclusions, common fine 2mm limestone inclusions. Lime eruptions/spalling often visible on the surface.
The grey fabric is similar in thin section to the orange fabric, with a clean clay matrix displaying a scatter of rounded or subrounded quartz grains and occasional limestone (Peacock & Williams, 1986: Class 46).
