Dolomite covers most of the area and it generally occupies high altitude areas. The
dolomite is homogeneous in appearance and is light grey to brown on weathered
surface and grey on fresh surface. The contact between the dolomite and limestone is
irregular, containing fragments of dolomite included within limestone.

Figure 4.7: An outcrop of dolomite within the property
On the eastern side of the property, limestone is in contact with slate (Fig 4.6) or
laminated shale. Generally, the slate occurs below the limestone and dolomite (Fig 4.7)
and is only exposed where the former is not present, or where the latter is weathered off.
The contact between limestone and slate is sharp and near the contact, the slate is
calcium rich.
