Description: | Craigleith Quarry, near Edinburgh, [Lothian], [Scotland] Carboniferous Showing coniferous structure. Variously referred to as 'calciferous' and 'calcareous', this is, according to the Lanfine Catalogue, "...part of a large tree found in Craigleith Quarry. It is now in the Botanic Gardens of Ed. - from Sanderson". This is almost certainly George Sanderson, of Edinburgh, who along with Witham and Nicol, developed the first transparent thin sections of fossils, including the Craigleith tree. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | PLANTTRACH : GYMNOCONIFER : FOSSIL : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
