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.

Most specimens consist of isolated bones and scales, but articulated remains of an acanthodian and actinopterygians were found in Units 37 and 38 of the East Kirkton Limestone. The faunal composition is characteristically Oil-Shale in aspect and resembles that of Broxburn (Pumpherston).
Geophysical survey involves ways of mapping what is on and below the seafloor. This was a key element of all four RECs. Marine geophysicists undertake a variety of geophysical survey techniques to provide different information about the physical environment of …
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 …

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 …

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.
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 …

Kirkton Avenue. Turn right into Puir Wifes Brae, continue up the hill until reaching a playground on the left - the quarry is opposite. Alternatively, travel east out of Bathgate along the Drumcross Road - turn right after Petershill Wildlife Reserve. Go past Limefield Farm - the quarry is on the left. The East Kirkton Limestone in the upper ...

The best geophysical methods for void detection surveys include microgravity, resistivity tomography and electromagnetic/magnetic mapping. One of the main issues for property developments in limestone or chalk environments is the presence of sub-surface solution features and voids.
