British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7575. The limestone bed is two feet thick at this location. A chemical analysis of a typical sample from this location is calcium carbonate 52.18 per cent, magnesium carbonate 36.40 per cent and insoluble matter 5.37 per cent. Old workings in the area, both quarries and mines indicate a considerable amount of former workings. The distribution of limestones is affected by faulting and igneous intrusions. |
