52. Basalts; a group of beds, probably in part sills, involving three bands of sandstone or quartzite.
51. Quartzite—a hard white altered sandstone, 2 to 3 feet.
50. Basalt, light green, earthy, amygdaloidal.
49. Sandstones and shales with plants, 25 feet.
48. Basalt, with a highly amygdaloidal central band. There may be several sheets here.
47. Green tufaceous shale and marl, 1 foot.
46. Basalt, dark, firm and amygdaloidal.
45. Sandstones and shales with plants.
44. Basalt forming west side of Kinghorn Bay, and including more than one sheet. The rock is very black, compact, irregularly columnar, with the usual amygdaloidal earthy band at the base, and forms the crag called the Carlinehead Rocks. An irregular and inconstant band of dull green tufaceous shale, sometimes 2 feet thick, serves to separate two of the basalt-sheets. Below it lies a remarkable scoriaceous almost brecciated basalt, which has been broken up on cooling in such a manner that at first it might be mistaken for a volcanic conglomerate.
43. Basalt, a compact black solid rock, with a vesicular and amygdaloidal bottom, about 40 feet. This sheet runs out into the promontory of Kinghorn Ness.
