at Berrow an almost perfect basin. The Lower-Lias 
limestones forming this outlier have been much quarried 
in the past. There are two sections available at the 
present time, identical as regards the sequence of the 
beds ; and perfectly normal as regards lithic structure. 
Although all the newer solid deposits have been denuded 
from the Eldersfield district, we know—as has already 
been pointed out—that at various times whilst the Inferior 
Oolite was in the course of formation, earth-movements 
occurred which compressed the strata, throwing them into 
little anticlines and synclines. And the Keuper beds must 
have been affected by these earth-movements also: indeed 
by every one which has occurred in this district since 
they were formed. No wonder, then, that the Keuper 
deposits have been thrown into the anticlines and syn- 
clines depicted in the accompanying sections. 
Lastly, it may be pointed out that not only have the 
earth-movements in the past been the cause of physical 
features of much beauty at the present day, but the flexur- 
ing of the sandstone has been most important from an 
economic standpoint. This deposit constitutes a water- 
bearing bed: many of the principal farmhouses in the 
district are situated on or near its outcrop, or it can 
be reached by wells. Since the bed is so frequently 
at the surface it has been possible to quarry in many 
places, and Eldersfield and Pendock" Churches, and many 
of the buildings in Longdon, and isolated farm, have 
been constructed with this stone. 
1 The hollows tear this Church are all that remain to indicate the site of the once 
celebrated Pendock Quarries, where the Keuper Sandstone was largely worked. This 
sandstone contained extremely well-preserved examples of Zstheria mtnuta, and near the 
base a bone-bed, two inches thick, which yielded to the Rev. W. S. Symonds fragments of 
ichthyodorulites, fish-teeth ( Acrodus), and bones. See Quart. Journ. Geol, Spec Vol. xi.
