Elaterite: a Mineral-Tar in Old Red Sandstone, Ross-Shire
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Extract
This mineral tar, which, from its elasticity, though somewhat weak, resembles elaterite, is found at the Craig Well, near Dingwall.
It is an intensely black, lustrous, sticky substance, of the consistency of tar, and from its being associated with albertite it may be looked upon as a variety of that asphalt.
