Offered for sale by Chris Porter (Books)Forsyth, I.H.; Chisholm, J.I. The Geology of East Fife : (Explanation of the Fife Portion of One-Inch Geological Sheet 41 and Part of Sheet 49)
Hmso, 1977. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 0118801643 284pp.The eastern part of Fife has long attracted the interest of geologists, partly because its coast provides one of the finest and most extensive section? of Carboniferous strata in the country, and partly because of the abundance and com plexity of its volcanic formations. The solid rocks of this structurally complex area, which are to a large extent concealed beneath a cover of Glacial and post-Glacial deposits, consist almost entirely of coal-bearing cyclic sequences of Carboniferous age, the eastern part being characterised by an unusually thick development of Calciferous Sandstone Measures. The Carboniferous strata are pierced by over a hundred volcanic necks, evidence of the large- scale eruptive activity that occurred during Upper Carboniferous, and possibly Permian, times. They have also been cut by numerous igneous intrusions, mainly dolerite sills, and these together with some of the larger volcanic necks form most of the higher ground in the area. Sir Archibald Geikie's classic Geological Survey Memoir on eastern Fife, published in 1902, was the first comprehensive account of the geology of the district and was for many years the main authority. Since Geikie's time, however, much additional information has become available, largely as a result of a complete geological resurvey of the district. The present Memoir, which deals with virtually the same area as that of 1902, is based on this resurvey and incorporates the results of modern research, particularly on the stratigraphy and palaeontology of the Carboniferous rocks, the field relations and petrography of the igneous intrusions, and the volcanic necks which are such a notable feature of east Fife geology.
