I've googled around and looked at tutorials for creating dissectors, but couldn't find much in the way of detailed examples for creating a layer

"Layer 2" in what sense? In the sense that the Ethernet dissector, or the 802.11 dissector, or the PPP dissector, is a layer 2 dissector?
If so, does your layer 2 protocol run atop some lower-level protocol, or is it the lowest level? If the former, what protocol does it run atop? If the latter, what capture files do you have that contain your protocol?
