See Paterson and Hall (1986)&lt;ref&gt;Paterson, I B and Hall, I H S, 1986. Lithostratigraphy of the late Devonian and early Carboniferous rocks in the Midland Valley of Scotland. British Geological Survey Report, 18/3.&lt;/ref&gt;; BGS (in press); BGS (in preparation).<br /> <br /> === Stratotype ===<br /> The type area is the coast section at Foul Port (NS 157 546), Millport Bay, Great Cumbrae, Strathclyde.<br /> <br /> === Lower and upper boundaries ===<br /> The lower boundary is conformable on the underlying Doughend Sandstone Member. It is marked by a change from yellow sandstone with a few concretionary nodules to red-brown mudstone and siltstone of the Foulport Mudstone Member (Monro, 1999; BGS in preparation). <br /> <br /> The upper boundary is conformable and overlain by variegated sandstones with concretions of the West Bay Cornstone Member (Figure 6, Column 2).<br /> <br /> === Distribution and regional correlation ===<br /> Cumbrae isles, Strathclyde<br /> <br /> === Thickness ===<br /> About 200 m.
