The crinoids here are big and cannot be missed, with ossicles a centimetre or so in diameter and articulated stem-sections up to ten or more centimetres in length.

The facies is particularly rich in the oyster <i>Liostrea sp.<\/i> and also debris of the algae <i>Solenopora portlandica.<\/i> The main shell varieties that are leached moulds and casts are from the bivalve <i>Trigonia,<\/i> and the gastropod <i>Aptyxiella portlandica,<\/i> (the &#8216;Portland Screw&#8217;).

It is composed of white, milky quartz and feldspar with abundant black biotite and minor muscovite. The feldspars are slightly altered and sometimes appear to be brown. Around the shop windows are strips of red <strong style=\"color:darkgreen\">Balmoral Granite<\/strong>, which like Baltic Brown described above, is another popular Finnish Stone, and again is part of the suite of rapakivi granites. These varieties, lacking the distinctive ovoids, are known as pyterlites. Balmoral is quarried from the Vehmaa Batholith, near Turku on the coast of SW Finland. Mineralogically it is composed of brick-red potassic feldspars, very dark, smoky quartz, plagioclase, biotite and hornblende. It has been marketed as &#8216;Balmoral&#8217; since 1903, a time when Scottish-style baronial architecture was very popular in Scandinavia and Finland and also because the stone was marketed to the British Isles through the port of Aberdeen.<div id=\"attachment_2405\" style=\"width: 301px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2405\" src=\"https:\/\/bcgs.info\/pub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1160473.jpg\" alt=\"Red Balmoral Granite with unknown grey granite\" width=\"291\" height=\"200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bcgs.info\/pub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1160473.jpg 291w, https:\/\/bcgs.info\/pub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P1160473-150x103.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 291px) 100vw, 291px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2405\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Red Balmoral Granite with unknown grey granite, House of Fraser<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>As you walk along note the paving stones beneath your feet.
