Abstract

Some rocks exposed near Laig Farm, Isle of Eigg, have previously been referred to the Upper Oxfordian. In this paper their age is shown by foraminifera to be Upper Cretaceous, their petrology described and their stratigraphical significance discussed. Evidence is presented that the supposed unconformity below the Lower Corallian of North-West Scotland does not exist.
