Geophysical surveys of the East Kirkton Limestone, Viséan, West Lothian, Scotland
East Kirkton Quarry, near Bathgate. This former limestone quarry outside Bathgate is now better known as an important fossil site in Central Scotland, with the famous fossil specimens Westlothiana and Balanerpeton woodi coming from here. East Kirkton Quarry is a remarkable example of hot spring activity within a small volcanic lake.

A fossil harvestman (Arachnida, Opiliones) from the Mississippian (Viséan: Brigantian) of East Kirkton, Scotland is described as Brigantibunum listoni new genus and species. At ca. 340 Ma, it represents the second oldest record of Opiliones. Although some details are lacking, this long-legged, small-bodied and rather gracile harvestman is surprisingly …
The range of taphonomic effects observed in these and larger individuals suggests that, as a consequence of poor preservation, the morphology of some Upper Palaeozoic scorpions has been misinterpreted by previous workers. ABSTRACT Scorpions from East Kirkton Quarry are represented by abundant cuticle fragments and rarer articulated specimens. …

The East Kirkton "limestone" quarry is situated in an area of poor exposure in the Bathgate Hills, towards the eastern side of the Midland Valley of Scotland (Figure 1). The limestone is located stratigraphically at the top of the Upper Oil Shale Group, Brigantian (Stephenson and Monro, The East Kirkton sequence is at its thickest, and is an …
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.
The Viséan sequence at East Kirkton was deposited in a shallow lake, set within a richly vegetated landscape formed of volcanic cones a few hundred metres high. There was little volcanic activity, however, while the lake existed, and the many tuff horizons within the sequence were washed in during weathering. The lake may have been generally cool, …
Geophysical services refer to a branch of geological consulting that provides surveys and reporting to gather, interpret, and map geophysical data. These services are typically used for measuring, analyzing, and optimizing resources for mining or geology, and can also be conducted for engineering, environmental, or other purposes.
the East Kirkton Limestone locally, but within the area of the survey no lateral limits to the formation are observed. KEY WORDS: Geophysics, hot springs, magnetic surveys, mineralisation, resistivity surveys, Lower Carboniferous. The East Kirkton quarry at Bathgate (Fig. 1) is the only known exposure of the Lower Carboniferous East Kirkton
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 …

A brief history of research into the unusual laminated and spherulitic East Kirkton Limestone (Brigantian, Viséan) is given. It documents the paucity of fossil finds until …
Geophysical surveys occupy an important position in the entire gamut of mineral exploration with a well-defined objective in all stages of exploration, thus the role of geophysical surveys is multidimensional. Geophysical surveys are essentially source-response geological studies; source being the natural fields of the earth (passive …
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 …

The example shown here from southwest Missouri, demonstrates how the traditional geotechnical approach to investigating karst limestone sites can be adapted to embrace the use of geophysics.

An estimation of the thickness of the lava beds of East Lothian and adjacent areas has been attempted based on aeromagnetic modelling. The produced three-dimensional model which takes into account the known thickness of the volcanics in the Spilmersford borehole, suggests a maximum thickness of nearly 600 m occurring few kilometres offshore ...
Evidence suggests a close relationship between climate, fire, erosion, deposition and vegetation type through the sequence and a climatic change, from a drier to a wetter environment, is suggested at the top of the East Kirkton Limestone sequence.

This study assesses the origin of spherulites from the Early Carboniferous alkaline lacustrine East Kirkton Limestone in Scotland, together with laboratory experiments.
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 East Kirkton Limestone in the upper part of the West Lothian Oil Shale formation is a thinly bedded freshwater limestone. It lies within a thick succession of lavas and volcanic ash. Black mudstones lying above the limestone were also found to contain fish remains. The rocks, originally laid down horizontally, are now tilted at 20 to 40 degrees to the …
The East Pacific Rise at 12–15° S is topographically smooth with a crestal horst or linear volcanic peak marking the present axis of spreading. The Galapagos Rise at 14–17° S is topographically rough with a possible central graben marking the extinct spreading axis. The seafloor spreading magnetic anomalies on the East Pacific Rise are …
