| Description: | A weathered, muddy, pale grey limestone with orange iron staining from Clatteringwell Quarry, Bishop Hill, Kinrossshire. BGS Sample SL 102. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7590. The quarry worked the Carboniferous Charlestown Main Limestone. The limestone forms an outlier at the summit of Bishop Hill, resting on top of a quartz-dolerite sill about 250 feet thick. The contact with the sill is not exposed. There appears to be an area of about ten acres underlain by limestone. The western edge of Bishop Hill is the only major potential source of limestone in Kinrossshire though other smaller outcrops exist in the county. |
