<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Upper Flow Moss Lava Member [http://www.bgs.ac.uk/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?pub=UFMLA (UFMLA)], Dunlop-Eaglesham Block, Carboniferous, Midland Valley of Scotland ==<br />
<br />
The Upper Flow Moss Lava Member is part of the [[Clyde Plateau Volcanic Formation]].<br />
<br />
=== Name ===<br />
Previously known as the Flow Moss lavas (upper). See MacPherson and Phillips (1997)<ref name="macpherson97">MacPherson, K A T, and Phillips, E R. 1997. The geology of the Clyde Plateau Volcanic Formation of the Kilmarnock district (Sheet 22E), central Scotland.

<br />
=== Lithology ===<br />
The Upper Flow Moss Lava Member consists of alkali basalts and subordinate basanites and ‘ankaramites’.<br />
<br />
=== Stratotype ===<br />
The type area is the Dunlop–Eaglesham moors between Glasgow, Kilmarnock and Hamilton, limited to the southern part of the area between Craufurdland Water (NS 510 448) in the north-west and Darvel (NS 6100 3900) in the south-east.<br />
<br />
=== Lower and upper boundaries ===<br />
The base is apparently unconformable on the [[Harelaw Lava Member]] that consists of trachytic lavas and the volcaniclastic rocks of the [[Gowk Stane Volcaniclastic Member]]. A thick bole formed on the top flow of the [[Lower Flow Moss Lava Member]] at (NS 510 448) marks the contact with this underlying member.<br />
<br />
The member is overlain unconformably by the [[Kirkwood Formation]] ([[Strathclyde Group]]).<br />
<br />
=== Thickness ===<br />
Not stated.<br />
<br />
=== Distribution and regional correlation ===<br />
Dunlop–Eaglesham moors between Glasgow, Kilmarnock and Hamilton, limited to the southern part of the area between Craufurdland Water (NS 510 448) in the north-west and Darvel (NS 6100 3900) in the south-east.<br />
<br />
=== Age ===<br />
Mid Visean (Arundian to Asbian).<br />
