| Caption: | Cornstone. Old limekiln at base of cliff, 400 yards north-north-east of Seagreens, East Mathers. Kincardine. |
| Description: | Purplish-grey, compact limestone with veins of clear calcite. Composed of granular calcite, the rock has the patchy distribution of fine, medium and coarse grains typical of cornstones, suggesting the original rock as of fine texture, 0.005 mm grain, with coarser material recrystallized or depositing in drying cracks. Relics of the original very fine semi-opaque carbonate-rock show pellet-structure and, rarely, a cellular structure which may indicate algal growths. Limestone, fine-grained, pelleted, micronodular, breccioid. SL0024. Britrocks S34545. Magnification x40. Light XPL. |
