| Caption: | Limestone from Backland (Backfield) of Ladeddie, Pitscottie, Fifeshire. |
| Description: | A coarse fossiliferous mid-grey crinoidal limestone from Ladeddie Quarries, located just south of the farm steading of Backfield of Ladeddie. BGS Sample SL 47. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7576. In 1949 it was reported that the limestone was not now exposed in the quarry. Some blocks of dolomitic limestone were found lying near the old kilns. The dip of the beds is south-east at six to eight degrees and the ground gently rises in the same direction. There were two limestones recorded, a lower whitish-grey limestone about eleven feet thick with a impure fossiliferous limestone two feet thick above it. Blaes, fakes and sandstones make up the succession above the limestones. |
