Description Continued. was disjoined from Forbes and annexed to Auchindoir in 1791. In regard to its geology, it may be described as consisting for the most part of primary or Metamorphic formation. The Coreen Hill, near the boundary of Tullynessle consists of [Mica] Clay, and here are wrought Quarries of thick slabs admirably adapted for flooring. This micaceous slate is peculiar and very beautiful. the base being studded with elegant stauratites. On the Northern boundary, where the Parish touches Rhynie, there are deep deposits of Devonian Rocks, and here extensive quarries of Freestone have long been wrought. These contain water nipples similar to those found in the contigieous quarry within the Rhynie boundary; but, as yet, no clearly defined fossils have been detected: only there can be no doubt that the entire formation belongs to the old Red and not to the new Red Sandstone. In 1859. Sir Roderick Impey [Continued p. 3] |
