"Red, unfossiliferous clastic sediments of the Findhorn Formation rest unconformably on reddened, sparsely fossiliferous Devonian clastic sediments across most of the Inner Moray Firth (e.g. on the Lower Devonian Struie Formation in 12/27-1, and on the Middle Devonian Strath Rory Formation in 12/27-2). Locally, they rest on metamorphic or granitic basement, or, as in well 12/23-1, on Upper Devonian to Lower Carboniferous strata (Buchan Formation)."@en . . "Findhorn Formation"@en . . "stable"@en . "The Findhorn Formation is conformably overlain by basal Upper Permian mudstones of the Kupferschiefer Formation in almost all wells, and the top of the formation is thus defined by a sharp downward change from mudstones to sandstones, marked by a sharp decrease in gamma-ray values. In the few wells in which the Kupferschiefer is absent, the Findhorn Formation is overlain by Upper Permian carbonates or, where the Upper Permian has been removed, by Upper Jurassic or Cretaceous rocks."@en . . "Sandstone with subsidiary mudstone and siltstone and trace limestone. Stratified bedrock. Occurs offshore. Deposited during the Cisuralian Epoch - to - Lopingian Epoch (Permian Period) (298.9-251.9 Ma BP)."@en . "298.9"^^ . . . "Findhorn Formation"@en . "The Findhorn Formation is more than 500 m thick in most of Quadrant 12; it has a maximum drilled thickness of 842 m in well 12/29-2. The formation is appreciably thinner adjacent to the Wick Fault and in central Quadrant 13, where it is about 300 m or less in thickness."@en . "The Findhorn Formation in Quadrant 12 is composed largely of very fine to fine grained, occasionally medium or coarse grained, argillaceous, locally micaceous, sandstones. The sandstones are moderately or poorly sorted, and reddish brown or, less commonly, pale grey in colour. They are mainly cemented by anhydrite or kaolinite and are mostly non-calcareous. Subsidiary beds, up to 5 m thick, of darker reddish brown or greenish grey mudstone or siltstone are present. Calcareous sandstones and thin beds of limestone have been noted in several wells. In the south of the quadrant, in particular, the gamma-ray response is irregular, suggesting an alternation of thinly bedded clean sandstones, argillaceous sandstones and mudstones."@en . .
