Abstract
Summary: Beds described lie between the Cockhill Marine Band and the Second Brimham Grit, comprising the Arnsbergian (E 2 ), Sabdenian (H) and part of the Kinderscoutian (R 1 ) stages of the Namurian. The Nidderdale Shales, with impersistent sandstones, are overlain by the Red Scar Grit, locally containing the Woogill Coal. The Scar House Beds show a preponderance of sandstone in a central belt running north-south. The discovery of Homoceras beyrichianum above the Lower Follifoot Grit identifies this sandstone, by comparison with the succession to the south, at Simonseat. Shelly fossils are recorded from the upper leaf of the Red Scar Grit and from three sandstones of Kinderscoutian age; the Cayton Gill Shell Bed is persistently fossiliferous, but the Agill and Libishaw Sandstones only locally. Protaster sp., an ophiuroid, is recorded from the Agill Sandstone.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
