| Caption: | Dolomite from Chapel Limestone Quarry, Kirkcaldy, Fifeshire. |
| Description: | Coarse, bluish dolomite, mottled with duller, cream-coloured dolomite from Chapel Limestone Quarry, about two miles north-west of Kirkcaldy, Fifeshire. BGS Sample SL 210. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7627. The dolomite belongs to the Carboniferous Lower Limestone Group, Charlestown Main Limestone. The specimen is from 22-23 feet from the base of quarry face. As a result of the folded and faulted character of the Carboniferous rocks in Fife the rocks of the Lower Limestone Group are brought to the surface in a number of different areas. The three limestones of economic interest in this part of the sequence, namely, the Charlestown Station or Hurlet, the Charlestown Green, and the Charlestown Main or Blackhall are present throughout the whole district, but nearly everywhere it is only the last-mentioned that is of importance. |
