Abstract
The Shunner Fell Limestone is one of a group of calcareous shales and impure limestones, in all about fifteen feet thick, occurring in beds of Namurian age and Millstone Grit facies exposed on Shunner Fell, Wensleydale. The presence of Anthracoceras glabrum s.l. Bisat in these beds (Chubb and Hudson, 1925, p. 262) assigns them to the Arnsbergian (Upper Eumorphoceras Age, E2, Hudson and Cotton, 1943). Other fossils include small cornute corals, trilobites, gastropods such as Bellerophon and Euphemus, and brachiopods such as Athyris, Chonetes, Lingula, Schizophoria, Spirfer, and the spinose Productids. The occurrence of these beds and some of their fossils has been recorded by Goodchild (in Dakyns and others, 1891, p. 145), King (1914), and Chubb and Hudson (1925).Keywords
