92 PROCEEDINGS COTTESWOLD CLUB 1910 



H. B. Holl noticed that fragments of Trichites were 

 abundant in the quarry here, and their occurrence along with 

 Ctenestreon reminds one of the ValUs-Vale section, where there 

 is a similar association at or about the same horizon. 



The actual junction of the rubbly rock, with an assemblage 

 of fossils of GarantiancB-Truellei hemer?e with the Sands was 

 not observed, but it is not Hkely that any Umestone of pre- 

 GarantiancB date intervenes. 



The Sands exposed in the deep and usually dry water- 

 course are particularly interesting on account of their being for 

 the most part of striatuli hemera. To the south, at Timsbury 

 Sleight, the Striatulum-Beds come below the ("Midford") 

 Sands ; but to the north above the (" Cotteswold ") Sands. 



From the succession indicated above, it will be seen that 

 at the northern end of the Bath-Dodington Area the sequence 

 is the same as at the southern : the main difference being that 

 the equivalent of the Doulting Stone has become more fos- 

 siliferous. 



(2) The Dodington-Dursley Area. 



This area is characterised by having a well-marked and 

 typical Cephalopod-Bed at the top of the Cotteswold Sands, 

 and freestone-beds (which increase in thickness to the north) 

 between the Cephalopod-Bed and Upper Trigonia-Grit. 



It is in this stretch of country that the principal change 

 from the typical Doulting Stone to the true Clypeus-Grit — as 

 developed at the Bath-Road Quarry, Nailsworth — takes place ; 

 but there is not a corresponding change in the A^iabacia-Lime- 

 stones. They retain, more or less, their usual appearance 

 throughout the whole area : only in places do they exhibit at 

 the top a rubbly appearance that is suggestive of the Rubbly 

 Beds. 



Between " The Springs " and Old Sodbury there are no 

 exposures of any use. 



Sequence in the neighbourhood of Old Sodbury. 



From time to time the neighbourhood of Old Sodbury has 

 furnished some very valuable details. These, combined with 

 those still obtainable here and at the Horton-Rectory Quarry, 

 render it possible to present the following generalized section :
