MIDDLE ALBIAN STRATIGRAPHY 



Subzone fossils and by comparison with Caen Hill, Devizes (p. 60), probably was the 

 source of some spathi Subzone ammonites also known from Crockerton. 



In the Westbury area, the Eden Vale Brickyard described by Jukes-Browne (1900 ; 

 236) is no longer exposed, but the pit worked by the Westbury Potteries Ltd., has 

 shown sections of the basal beds of the Gault from time to time. Casey (1956 ; 233 : 

 1961a ; 564) has referred to this section as the Bremeridge pit demonstrating the 

 presence of the kitchini Subzone overlain non-sequentially by the basal beds of the 

 Gault of dentatus Zone age. This pit is presumably the source of the specimen of 

 ' Anahopiitoides ' from Dilton (Ponsford Colin.) illustrated by Casey (1966 ; 547 

 text-fig. 207c).

(c) Caen Hill, Devizes 



The area W. of Devizes has been a centre of brick and tile production since the 

 latter half of the last century. The sections then exposed at Caen Hill and Dunkirk 

 were described by Jukes-Browne (1892 : 1900 ; 249-250, 252 : 1905 ; 15-16) and 

 Osborne-White (1925 ; 39). Old collections in the British Museum (Nat. Hist.) and 

 Institute of Geological Sciences indicate the presence of the Peodentatus, lyelli & 

 spathi Subzones in this area, and some of the ammonites were described by Spath 

 (1923-1925).
