The East Kirkton Limestone: an interesting case study of rifting-related spherulitic 94 limestones 95 The Carboniferous East Kirkton Limestone of the Midland Valley graben of Scotland (Fig. 1) 96 contains calcium carbonate spherulites, spherulitic bioherms, calcite-smectite laminites and 97 primary chert (Rolfe et al., 1993; Walkden et al, 1993).

Magnetic and resistivity geophysical surveys conducted across the only known exposure of the East Kirkton Limestone have produced new information upon its extent. This is important to determine because of its unique faunal assemblage and possible hot spring deposition, suggesting a potential for precious metal mineralisation.

A formal lithostratigraphic description is given of the three beds that comprise the c. 15 m sequence in East Kirkton Quarry: the East Kirkton Limestone, overlain by Little Cliff Shale and Geikie Tuff, the latter two being here formally named. Lithological descriptions and a unit-by-unit distribution of major elements of the biota are provided ...
A collaborative effort between a geotechnical engineer and geophysicist in conducting subsurface evaluations of a karst limestone site is demonstrated with this case history.
ABSTRACT Stable isotope data from the East Kirkton succession are used to elucidate the extent of hot-spring influence in the palaeoenvironment by constraining conditions of deposition of the silica and the formation of sulphides. Petrographically silica occurs as chert laminae thought to be primary, and as patchy chert considered as replacive.
ABSTRACT The southern Bathgate Hills, in the eastern part of the Midland Valley basin of Scotland, were the site of a volcanic rise during late Dinantian to early Silesian times and a sequence of basaltic lavas and tuffs up to 600 m thick accumulated. The volcanic pile interrupted the regional sedimentary deposition, which involved a cyclical sequence of …

This study assesses the origin of spherulites from the Early Carboniferous alkaline lacustrine East Kirkton Limestone in Scotland, together with laboratory experiments. The outcrop study shows that the spherulites are widely distributed and mainly occur in 1) thin, low energy organic-rich laminites and 2) thicker, higher energy …

The East Kirkton Limestone found in the quarry formed during a period of volcanic activity around 330 million years ago, when a pile of basalt lava flows and ash layers built up in this area. Layers of calcium carbonate were precipitated as a result of the hot spring activity, forming a thinly bedded limestone which is exposed in the quarry.
The East Kirkton Limestone (West Lothian, Lower Carboniferous, Scotland) is constituted by an interesting array of uncommon freshwater calcium carbonate components (spherulites, botryoidal crusts ...

ABSTRACT Volcanogenic sediments form a significant part of the East Kirkton Limestone, with thin tuff units occurring at several levels and pyroclastic fragments being an important constituent of the coarser clastic limestone units. The tuffs have been extensively altered during diagenesis but recognisable pseudomorphs after olivine and …
