﻿542 MR. A. WILMOEE ON THE CARBONIEEROUS [Nov. I9IO, 



"by the road. This rock has all the characteristics of the knoll 

 limestone of Cracoe and Thorpe. The upper beds are irregularly 

 stratified, and it is not easy to make out the precise dip. This is 

 often the case with the limestone of these knolls. 



The rock is now being quarried close to the road, and in the 

 small knoll on the east: it has also been quarried in the small 

 knoll immediately to the west. It is clear that a considerable 

 cutting was necessary in making the road. 



The dip varies considerably in the different exposures. The 

 officers of the Geological Survey marked dips of 10°, 15°, 17°, and 

 55° almost due north, and one southward dip. Dr. Wheelton 

 Hind & Mr. J". A. Howe record a dip of 30° north-north-eastwards. 1 

 The beds have been considerably disturbed, and slickensided surfaces 

 are seen. One newly exposed surface on the northern side of the 

 hill shows very hummocky bedding, far too much so to permit of 

 the amount of the dip being definitely ascertained : its direction is 

 north-north-westerly. Brecciation is quite common, as well as 

 slickensiding. 



A fault is mapped on the 1-inch Geological Survey map, just at 

 the northern end of the exposures. 



The fossils are, generally, those of Swinden and Elbolton. They 

 are not easy to extract, but occasionally one weathers out clearly. 



List of Fossils obtained. 



Amplexus coralloides, Sow. (Common.) 

 Caninia sp. (Indeterminable.) 

 Zaphrentis sp. 



Productus fimbriatus, J. Sow. 

 Productus martini, Sow. 

 Productus humerostis, Sow. 



Productus pustulosis, Pliill. (Towards 



scabriculus in type.) 

 Spirifer bisulcatus, Sow. 

 Martiuia glabra (Mart.). 

 Pugnax acuminata (Phill.). 

 Rhynchonella pugnus, Mart. 



Gasteropods and cephalopods are seen, the cavities of the latter being filled 

 with calcite. Specimens are difficult to extract. 



Orinoidal debris is quite common ; occasionally a ' cup ' or a ' head ' may 

 be seen, but I have not been able to extract one. 



I think that these beds are the same as those of Slack, near 

 jNewsholme, and the upper beds of Crag Laithe (to be described 

 later). The lithological character of the limestone is absolutely the 

 same, and the fossils are almost identical. 



Quarry near Fogger. — There is a small quarry near the high 

 road, a little west of the Fogger cutting. The strata are here well 

 bedded, and dip norbh-north-westwards : not more than 20 feet of 

 them are exposed. The strata are lithologically quite unlike the 

 Fogger beds. There is crinoidal debris ; but it is hard and splintery, 

 and in parts is converted into chert. I regard these beds as inter- 

 mediate between those of Warrel Quarry and Fogger Eock, both 

 in lithology and in stratigraphical sequence. There can be little 

 doubt that they are well up in D 2 at least.
