| Description: | A specimen of the Carboniferous Burdiehouse Limestone, 'Top Bed' from Newbigging Mine, Nine Lums, one mile west of Burntisland. BGS Sample SL 219. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7625. Dull pale cream-coloured limestone, containing in many places clear quartz grains, black bodies and scattered carbonaceous fragments. The rock is composed of very finely divided calcite slightly recrystallized. Ostracod valves are numerous, and when entire contain coarse-grained clear calcite. The outcrop extends for a distance of about three-quarters of a mile in an east-west direction from Grange to Dalachy, and is indicated by a line of old quarries, all of which have long been abandoned. |
