(Table 5.1) Lithostratigraphy of Loch Humphrey Burn (R.M. Bateman, unpublished)

Lithostrati- graphical Unit	Main Lithologies	Environmental Interpretation	*Bed Numbers of Scott et al.* (1984, fig. 8)**	Fossil Plant Assemblages
Unit 5	Siltstones and fine sandstones with intercalated coarse sandstones, thin shales, coals and rooted palaeosols	Extensive flood plain	21–33	Compressions of rhizomorphic lycopsid rootlets, with rare rhizomorph and aerial axis fragments
Unit 4	Medium to coarse, gritty sandstones, with a few thin shales	Fluvial channel	13–20	Nodular petrifactions of many organs representing a wide range of higher taxa (Bed 17); also compressions, especially of pteridosperm and putative progymnosperm foliage
Unit 3	Thinly laminated shales and an impure limestone	Flood plain/ lacustrine	9–12	Compressions, especially pteridosperm and putative progymnosperm foliage
Unit 2	Siltstones and fine sandstones	Flood plain	6–8	Nodular petrifactions of fragmentary filicopsids, sphenopsids and pteridosperms, especially reproductive organs (Bed 6)
Unit 1	Poorly sorted, coarse sandstones and conglomerates, rich in volcanic ash and clasts	?Channel/ flood plain	1–5	Large, partially petrified pteridosperm axes (Bed 1)
