<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Eaglesham Lava Member [http://www.bgs.ac.uk/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?pub=EMLA (EMLA)], Dunlop-Eaglesham Block, Carboniferous, Midland Valley of Scotland ==<br />
<br />
The Eaglesham Lava Member is part of the [[Clyde Plateau Volcanic Formation]].<br />
<br />
=== Name ===<br />
Previously named the Eaglesham lavas. See MacPherson and Phillips (1997)<ref name="macpherson97">MacPherson, K A T, and Phillips, E R. 1997.

<br />
=== Lithology ===<br />
The Eaglesham Lava Member is dominated by alkali basalt, but also includes basanite and feldspar-phyric trachybasalt. One trachytic flow is known.<br />
<br />
=== Stratotype ===<br />
The type area is the Dunlop–Eaglesham moors between Glasgow, Kilmarnock and Hamilton, in the eastern part of the area between Newton Mearns (NS 5750 5180) and Eaglesham (NS 5360 5570).<br />
<br />
=== Lower and upper boundaries ===<br />
The base is apparently conformable on the [[Moyne Moor Lava Member]] that consists predominantly of trachybasalt but may locally be unconformable.<br />
<br />
The member is overlain by the [[Dumdruff Hill Lava Member]]. The contact is considered conformable.<br />
<br />
=== Thickness ===<br />
Up to 250 m.<br />
<br />
=== Distribution and regional correlation ===<br />
Dunlop–Eaglesham moors between Glasgow, Kilmarnock and Hamilton, in the eastern part of the area between Newton Mearns (NS 5750 5180) and Eaglesham (NS 5360 5570).<br />
<br />
=== Age ===<br />
Mid Visean (Arundian to Asbian).<br />
