Grey slaty sandstones and ) „_ 



Calcareous shale with many \ 

 fossils ^ 



Limestones which are much") 

 contorted — the upper beds i 

 are impure, but the middle 

 and lower make good lime, j 

 These beds were, until late- 

 ly, worked here, and also at J. 

 North Sunderland where I 

 they are brought in, through | 

 the undulations and faults I 

 of the strata. They are very | 

 fossiliferous J
