In making an ascending
geological section (see sec-
tion, fig. 1) from the edge of
the crystalline rocks about
five miles south of Elgin,
and passing by that town to
Lossiemouth and the coast-
ridge which extends east-
wards from that place by
Covesea to Burgh Head, the
following phenomena present
themselves. In the hills east
of Delias, the older or cry-
stalline rocks are finely la-
minated, quartzose, mica-
ceous, and gneissose flag-
stones, splitting to the thick-
ness of tiles, containing some
white quartz -veins, with
layers of pinkish and greyish
colours alternating, and vdth
northerly dips varying from
25° to 45°. This crystalline
rock is unconformably over-
laid by a hard grit, sur-
mounted by a coarse red con^
glomerate with interlacing
marly beds, as in the sections
described near Altyre. The
Palls of the Shoggle Burn, to
which I was conducted by
my friend the Kev. G. Gor-
don, exposes such junctions
clearly. Brick-red breccia
or conglomerate, with way-
bands of red marl, follow as
you advance into the vale
watered by the Lossie ; and
these beds are immediately
surmounted by soft yellow
grits and sandstones in
which fish-scales and other
fossils occur (Bothriolepis,
&c.)*.

  • These fossils, in a similar

matrix, also occur, according to
Mr. Gr. Gordon, on the side of the
Buinach Hill, halfway between
the Shoggle Burn and Pluscardine

Priory. — June 1859.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
