The section just described with the Beef and Upper Bone 
Beds occurs on the west side of the little quarry (12). On the 
south side the Beef and Upper Bone Beds are not traceable, 
but are replaced by a band of sandstone. 
In another excavation (11) east of the last, the sandstone 
(bed m) is seen forming the floor of the quarry, and above it 
are three feet of pale clay. At the present time nothing can be 
seen below the sandstone (bed m) owing to the lower part of 
the pit being full of water. Mr. Barton says that below it 
several feet of clay were penetrated, material which is now 
used for pot and brick making. The Beef and Upper Bone 
Beds are apparently not developed at this spot.
