CLENT HILLS BRECCIA. 
29 
Lickey quartzite on the surface of Wychbury, the edges of which 
were but very slightly rounded. On the surface there are many 
pieces of soft yellow sandstone, which I cannot find on any of the 
other hills. It is believed to be Coal Measure sandstone. Two 
whole afternoons spent in breaking this only resulted in one clearly 
fossiliferous piece being found. It contained fragments of Sigillaria. 
Others contained marks which may be plant remains. I have 
searched for this sandstone several times in the face of the quarry 
and cannot find it, though once I saw a piece lying loose there. 
Until a piece which undoubtedly comes out of the quarry can be 
found, it perhaps remains an open question whether this yellow 
sandstone belongs to the Breccia. The only other stratified rock 
found is Permian sandstone—also off the surface. 
Clent.— There are numerous small exposures, but the best are 
the quarry at the Park Gate and a pit by Clent Grove, and several 
excavations at Adam’s Hill. See general list for fossils. Ail of 
them are in fragments of Llandovery Sandstone, except those in two 
pieces of Llandovery quartzite. One or two pieces retain the 
original colour of the rock. 
Walton.— There is only one quarry, which is behind Clent 
Church, exposing the Breccia overlaid by the Bunter Pebble Bed. 
See general list for fossils, which are in fragments of Llandovery 
sandstone, and one piece of Llandovery Beach Rock with included 
pebbles of Lickey quartzite. This last piece was only found last 
Sunday, when I went to Highfield Coppice, on the west slope, to 
measure some large stones there. This great block of Llandovery 
Beach Rock, which is 1' 3" x 1}” X 8", was just below the 900ft. 
contour line. So as to include it in these remarks, I carried it 
over the hill into Clatterbach, where I was only too glad to 
leave it until the next day. It contains Pentamerus oblongus , 
Petraia (? species), and traces of several other fossils, the remains 
of which are so indistinct that it is impossible to say what they 
are. Walton should be searched further. 
Romsley.— There are several small road sections, but I have not 
examined the hill more than half-a-dozen times. See general list for 
fossils, which are all in fragments of Llandovery Sandstone.
