Abstract
In our earlier paper on the Petrography of the Blea Wyke Series (1) we stated our intention of describing the Blea Wyke Beds as developed alongside the Peak Fault, or as near to it as possible. This section has never been described, while the brief references to it in the Geological Survey Memoirs (2, 3) are not altogether correct. Here it is stated that “all the beds become thinner in the steep cliffs to the northwards of Blea Wyke, so that below Peak Hall, where they are again accessible, there are not more than 15 feet of the ‘Grey Beds’ and 20 feet of the ‘Yellow Beds’”.Keywords
