| Caption: | Mid-Kim&y Limestone (probably) Old Limestone mine, Luscar, Garnock. Fife Region. |
| Description: | Dark grey crystalline limestone. In section seen to be a recrystallized limestone of grain-size 0.1 - 0.5 mm. The original structure is almost entirely destroyed, but in places trabecular structure is preserved by the presence of powdery impurities. The argillaceous and carbonaceous impurities of the limestone are not well segregated in spite of extensive recrystallization, and largely remain inside the new grains. A small aggregate of granular apatite was noted, perhaps from its long slender shape replacing a fish spine. A little pyrite is present. Limestone, varigrained, zoophasmic, clastizoic, in part granoblastic. SL0281. Britrocks S35804. Magnification x40. Light PPL. |
