Caption: | Charlestown Main Limestone. Duloch Limestone Mine, Sunnybank, 1 mile north of Inverkeithing. Fife Region. |
Description: | A grey-brown, finely granular dolomite, of grain-size 0.1 mm, in which numerous crinoid columnals remain recognizable as large crystals partly replaced by the fine-grained dolomite. Tests with acid and Lemberg's solution show that the large crystals as well as the small are dolomite. A few ghosts of other organic structure persist. Black and reddish dust frequently outlines these structures and is also concentrated where no organic structure is recognized. Ferriferous dolomite, medium-grained, zoophasmic, mosaic. SL0008. Britrocks S34442. Magnification x40. Light XPL. |
