| Caption: | Charlestown Main Limestone. Clatteringwell Quarry, Bishop Hill, about 1 mile north-east of Kinnesswood. Fife Region. |
| Description: | Pale brownish, greenish-mottle limestone composed of crinoid and shell fragments in a fine calcareous base in which finely divided chlorite is locally abundant and tiny crystals of pyrite are universally present. The fossil fragments are greatly recrystallized, but trabecular structure is commonly preserved, even when replacement by calcite-chlorite aggregate has occurred. The residue from solution in cold dilute HCl includes grossular, forsterite, diopside, opaque spinellid, and brookite, rutile and zircon. Limestone with chlorite, pelitomorphic, clastizoic, zoichnic. SL0102. Britrocks S34494. Magnification x40. Light PPL. |
