Summary
| Description |
English: The quarry is famous for the discovery of important fossils by professional fossil collector Stan Wood, including 'Westlothiana lizziae', known as 'Lizzie' a possible link between amphibians and reptiles in 1988. Geologists from National Museums Scotland spend two field seasons in the late 1980s excavating a complete vertical section of the quarry, literally layer by layer, collecting fossils and taking rock samples as they went.
Here a geologist from Glasgow Museums, who was assisting with the work, examines pieces of limestone in the spoilheaps near the entrance to the quarry. |
