| Caption: | Burdiehouse Limestone (base). Mid Lothian. |
| Description: | Compact limestone banded in darker and less dark brown shades. Composed of almost structureless finely granular yellow-stained calcite interbanded with layers to which the irregular mingling of clear and yellow stained rock gives a fragmental appearance as in S 34525. Ostracod shells are abundant in the coarser seams and collophane clots are present. Wisps of bitumen and carbonaceous fragments occur sparsely throughout the rock. Limestone, bituminous, pelitomorphic, microfossiliferous, bedded, homoiolithic microbreccia. SL0018. Britrocks S34526. Magnification x40. Light PPL. |
