Thickness in feet inches. 



Clay, pale-grey and yellow 



Limestone, pale-brown, rubbly, mixed 

 with a little marl. Difficult of access : 

 estimated at 8 



Limestone, somewhat sparry, white, with 

 even-sized oolite-granules. Top-bed 

 bored by Lithophagi, and less com- 

 monly by annelids. Anabacia compla- 

 nata (Defrance), Strophodus magnus, 

 Agassiz. Trigonia, sp. indet. : 1 foot 

 4 inches to 5 feet 3 2 



a. Limestone, brownish, slightly oolitic. 

 At the western end of the cutting this 

 deposit is massively-bedded (with a 

 pebbly layer at the base), and at the 

 eastern end is a whitish, more generally 

 oolitic, flaggy limestone, which has the 

 top-portion much bored by annelids 

 (sometimes to a depth of 8 inches), and 

 less so by Lithophagi. Oysters occur on 

 the upper surface : 2 feet 8 inches to 

 lOfeet 6 6 



b. Limestones, brownish, oolitic, mas- 

 sively-bedded in places, but on the 

 whole not weathering well ; top-bed 



bored in places 14 



c. Limestones, brownish, oolitic, mas- 

 sively-bedded, with a ' hollow bed ' at 



the top 7 6 



d. Limestones, brownish, not so thickly- 

 bedded, having more conspicuous marly 

 partings. Pecten (Syncyclonema) de- 

 missus, Phillips, very common in the 



upper part ; large Nautilus 16 



(Non-sequence: Upper Coral-Bed and 

 Dundry Freestone absent.) 



The ' Conglomerate - Bed.' Limestone, 

 pale -grey, crystalline, containing peb- 

 bles of a yellow-stained limestone, and 

 of a pale-grey, fine-grained sandstone, 

 much bored by Lithophagi, and fre- 

 quently having Serpulce in the crypts ; 

 Terebratula sphcsroidalis, Sow. (abun- 

 dant, especially in the lower portion 

 of the bed), Pecten (Syncyclonema) de- 

 missus, Phillips, Nautilus sp., Peri- 

 sphinctes cf. Bavidsoni, S. Buckman, 

 Belemnites (fragments) 1 4 



(Non-sequence: the whole of the Bajo- 

 cian and Aalenian and part of the 

 Toarcian are absent.) 



Clays, bluish, micaceous, arenaceous, 

 shaly: seen 2 



1 In an exposure in the bank by the roadside, where the main road descends the 

 escarpment to the west of Doulting, a remnant of the Striatichim-Beds was seen 

 immediately below the Upper Trigonia-Grit. In lithological structure it closely re- 

 sembled the harder portions of the equivalent deposit at Timsbury Sleight (see p. 415), 

 and contained Bhynchonella Moorei, Dav., Bh. aff. jurensis, Dav., non Quenstedt, and 

 fragments of Grammoceras (probably Gr. toarciense).
