Large cavities (about 20 cm across) in limestone are commonly filled with pink to white coarsely crystalline calcite. Veinlets and tiny cubes of pyrite occur in calcite. The limestone is dense, dark grey (weathering to greyish white) and contains corals and other fossils common to the Black River Group)
The quarry is located approximately 140 m east of Division Street, just south of Highway 401.
