 consisting of layers of feldspar (? moonstone) definitely alternating in paral-

 by fibrous or striated laminae. Tarbert, Harris. Specimens of the kind are 

 considered by eozoonists to be of organic origin. The striae ( f< striation ") 

 were taken by Dr. Carpenter to be a " vertical tubular structure," corresponding 

 with that of the u proper wall " of " Eozoon Canadense " !
