Overleigh Cemetery Geology II

This impressive tomb is made of oolitic limestone, and comes from Dorset. If you look closely you can see fossils and small balls called ooids, which form when small grains wash up and down the beach. There is no name on the stone, and surprisingly for such a large monument, no-one now knows who is buried there.
