| Caption: | Skateraw Middle (?) Limestone. Saltoun Limeworks, quarry south of road, 0.75 mile north-west of Saltoun. East Lothian. |
| Description: | A buff-grey limestone showing crinoid ossicles. Composed of the debris of calcareous organisms, including crinoids and shells with subordinate foraminifera and spines in a matrix of calcite of grain 0.02 - 0.1 mm. The shapes of the remains are becoming indefinite through general recrystallization, and are better preserved in an irregular, dark patch which is probably a faecal pellet. Limestone, fine-grained, microfossiliferous, clastizoic. SL0062. Britrocks S34551. Magnification x40. Light PPL. |
