The Scotland Beds of Barbados

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Barbados, occupying as it does the position of the most easterly isolated and the furthest out in the Atlantic Ocean of all the West Indian Islands, deserves special attention from geologists. Its rocks consist essentially of three units each separated from the other by an important unconformity, namely in descending order the Coral Rock, the Oceanic Series, and the Scotland beds.
