| Caption: | Castlecary Limestone. Caviehall old mine, 1 mile west of Culross. Fife Region. |
| Description: | Brownish-grey, coarsely crystalline dolomite. Composed of granular and rhomboid dolomite of varying grain-size, 0.2 - 0.6 mm with ghost relics of organic fragments, some of which are large and equidimensional and probably represent crinoid plates; others are composed of opaque dust so arranged as to indicate the fibrous texture of shells. A typical stylolitic film traverses the rock and grains of dolomite grow across it. The dolomite is ferriferous with omega = 1.690. Ferriferous dolomite, varigrained, zoophasmic, uneven mosaic. SL0120. Britrocks S34593. Magnification x40. Light PPL. |
