The Colsterdale Marine Beds is a geologic formation in North Yorkshire, England. It is exposed in Colsterdale and upper Nidderdale, [1] and preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
Dinodocus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur, named by Richard Owen in 1884. The name is now usually considered a nomen dubium. The only species, D. mackesoni, a name given to some fossil bones from the Lower Greensand Group of Hythe, Kent, England, were formerly placed in the genus Pelorosaurus, but a review by Upchurch et al. (2004) concluded that Dinodocus is a nomen dubium.
Colsterdale is the valley of the River Burn, a tributary of the River Ure, in the Yorkshire Dales in North Yorkshire, England. It gives its name to a hamlet and civil parish in the upper part of the dale, about 7 miles (11 km) west of Masham. The population of the civil parish was estimated at 20 in 2010. The lower part of the dale around the hamlet of Gollinglith Foot is in the civil parish of Healey. The area is in Harrogate district.
The Holderness Formation is a geologic formation in England. It preserves fossils.
The Scremerston Formation is a geologic formation in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Clifton Down Limestone is a geologic formation in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Spilsby Sandstone is a geologic formation in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Durlston Formation is a geologic formation in England. Particularly in the Isle of Purbeck. It preserves fossils dating back to the Berriasian stage of the Lower Cretaceous.
The Ringstead Coral Bed is a geological formation with fossilized coral in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Jurassic period. The beds are exposed at Ringstead Bay in Dorset, on the Jurassic Coast, hence the name.
The Fullers Earth Formation is a geological formation that outcrops in southern England. It is also mostly present in the subsurface of the Wessex Basin and offshore in the English Channel Basin, Celtic Sea Basin and St George's Channel Basin. It preserves fossils dating back to the Bathonian stage of the Middle Jurassic series. It is the lateral equivalent of the Rutland Formation and the Sharp's Hill Formation
The Weston Flags Formation is a geological formation in Shropshire, England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Darriwilian stage of the Ordovician period.
The Llanfallteg Formation is a geologic formation in Wales. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ordovician period. It predominantly consists of ash containing siltstones, as wells as ash fall deposits and tuffs. It likely dates to the Darriwilian based on graptolites. The local graptolite fauna includes Didymograptus artus and Glossograptus armatus. The local trilobite fauna includes agnostids, phacopids and asaphids.
The Wittering Formation is a geologic formation in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleogene period.
The Headon Formation is a geological formation found in Hampshire, England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Bartonian stage (Eocene).
The Headon Hill Formation is a geological formation found in the Isle of Wight and south Hampshire, England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Priabonian stage.
The Woolwich Formation is a geological formation in southeast England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleogene period.
The Stockdale Shales is a geologic formation in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period.
The Downton Castle Sandstone is a geologic formation in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period. As its name would suggest the formation predominantly consists of sandstone with minor siltstone and mudstone. The oldest known Trigonotarbid Palaeotarbus is known from the formation.
The Ancholme Group is a geologic group in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Jurassic period. It has previously been referred to as the Ancholme Clay Group. The group consists of predominantly grey, marine mudstone and silty mudstone with beds of argillaceous limestone nodules. In parts of its range it interfingers with the Corallian Group, which predominantly consists of coralliferous limestones.
The Solent Group is a geological group in the Hampshire Basin of southern England. It preserves fossils ranging in age from Priabonian to Rupelian. The group is subdivided into three formations, the Headon Hill Formation, the Bembridge Limestone Formation and the Bouldnor Formation.
The Ballagan Formation is a geologic formation in Scotland and England. It preserves fossils dating back to the early part of the Carboniferous period (Tournaisian–Visean).
