Abstract
Synopsis The unusual biota of the Glencartholm Volcanic Beds, Lower Carboniferous of Scotland is restudied in the first overall treatment since the turn of the century. Examination of the large collections now housed in the IGS Edinburgh and the Royal Scottish Museum afforded a complete list of the biota (some species never having been previously recorded from Glencartholm) and relative proportions among species. Selective diagenesis has occurred, calcareous fossils being dissolved, but organic/phosphatic forms preserved. Attempts to re-excavate the original site proved only partially productive; however, a new locality for the Glencartholm biota is herein recorded.
