| Description: | A light grey fine-grained limestone with small fossils from the Duloch Limestone Mine, near Dunfermline, Fifeshire. BGS Sample SL 8. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7567. A curved outcrop, concave southwards, extends north-east from the Firth of Forth at Charlestown and then east by Dunfermline to Duloch, then turning south to Inverkeithing. At Charlestown the limestones are well exposed and the Charlestown Main, which is exceptionally thick, has been worked for nearly 200 years. Elsewhere in this area, however, there is a considerable drift-cover, and the small thickness of the limestones in general makes it unlikely that any further work will be done on them. |
