| Description: | A dull, compact, grey, greenish and pinkish-mottled limestone. Composed essentially of calcite, talc-silicates, mica and feldspar, with accessory sphene. The limestone is of Dalradian Supergroup (Precambrian) age and is from the Glenlia Quarry, near Foyers, Invernessshire. BGS Sample SL 241. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7638. The calcite is in grains up to 0-5 mm across. The talc-silicates include zoisite, epidote, pyroxene and pale green tremolite. As a whole the mainland of Invernessshire is not rich in limestone. One band of considerable size and high quality occurs in the Fort William area while others of lesser extent and purity are somewhat sparsely scattered throughout the county. |
