| Description: | A medium-grained fossiliferous crystalline limestone from Olday, Balneil Den, Balcarres, Colinsburgh, Fifeshire. BGS Sample SL 34. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7579. In the Cults, Ceres and Largo Ward of Fife there are a number of old limestone workings, both quarries and mines. This specimen is from an outcrop that runs for two miles northeastwards from Colinsburgh and has three old quarries, at Ballcarres, Gibliston and Baldutho. On the whole the old workings do not show much promise for working, most of the surface resources have been exploited so what limestones that are left will be present at moderate depths. |
