Creeton Silverbed Limestone at Creeton Quarry, Lincolnshire
Creeton Silverbed Limestone is a fine grained Jurassic limestone with a creamy off white colour. Mined at our limestone quarry in Lincolnshire.
Creeton Silverbed Limestone is a fine grained limestone with a creamy off white colour. It gets its name from the small clusters of fossiliferous shells and mineral veining that can give the impression of flecks of silver within the stones appearance.
In thin section the stone is dominated primarily of ooliths and peloids. These are typically circular or ovoid in shape with many showing a degree of concentric structure. Some showed iron rich grains to be present with some local discolouration. These were generally micritic, with a seed consisting of quartz grain or lithoclasts/sediment fragments.
