Abstract

The sandstone injections which penetrate the Kimmeridgian strata of Eathie are described, the presence of sill-like injections being particularly noted. It is considered that the occurrence of “sandstone-sills” at Eathie is of importance in ascertaining the mode of origin of the injections of the locality. It is further suggested that the sills support the hypothesis that the injections are the result of infilling of fissures from below by sand and water.
