East Kirkton Quarry
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: East Kirkton Quarry in West Lothian in Scotland. An outcrop of limestone, discontinuous as a result of faulting, runs through the Bathgate Hills, roughly south to north, and has been extensively quarried. The quarries are all long and narrow, abandoned, and mostly very overgrown. East Kirkton is of international importance because it has yielded a quantity of very significant fossils, including 'Westlothiana lizziae', popularly known as 'Lizzie', which is a key link between amphibians and reptiles. 'Lizzie' was found in 1988 and is now in the National Museum of Scotland. |
