05 Percent Shale:
Although we have no direct evidence, we do know that the lower Cedar Keys and Lawson Dolomites are platform carbonates, and therefore we conclude that the clay content is low (<5 percent). It would be possible to calculate clay percent from geophysical logs that penetrate this interval.
