About 30 feet of shale and sandstone intervene, containing 

 Sjohenopteris affinis, Stigmarian rootlets, and other obscure plant- 

 remains. Below which come 20 feet or more of grey shale with ribs 

 of calcareous ironstone, and near the base a two-feet bed of lime- 

 stone containing a numerous suite of marine fossils.

The most characteristic species is Sanguinolites abdensis, which is 

 found in great numbers. Productus semiretiadatus is abundant in 

 and near the limestone; but Lamellibranchs are the prevailing 

 fossils. There are no corals. 



Nearly 150 feet of alternating strata of shale with bands and 

 nodules of ironstone, sandstone, and fireclay intervene, among 

 which are three or four coaly beds with underclays containing 

 Stigmarian rootlets. The only other fossils noticed are Lepidoden- 

 dron sp., Calamites sp., and Bphenopteris affinis, as well as some 

 obscure seed-vessels. There then occur, in the middle of a thick 

 bed of shale containing the remains of plants near the top and below, 

 the following marine species : —

 distance west of Pittenweem.
