Conamheall, Highland

Conamheall NE summit

Uploader's Comments

The NE summit (also without a cairn) is 2 m lower than the main summit. Occasional Skolithos-rich beds brighten up an otherwise monotonous lithology. Skolithos is a trace fossil worm burrow about 1 cm across and up to 15 cm long, and these exist in unimaginable numbers in these Cambrian quartzites.
