Abstract
Reptilian bones, first observed by Mr. C. I. Gardiner in 1935, are found in two quarries in the Chipping Norton Limestone (top of Inferior Oolite,fuscaandzigzaghemerae). These two quarries are the New Park Quarry, about 2½ miles N.W. of Stow-on-the-Wold, and the Oakham Quarry which lies about a mile W.N.W. of Little Compton. The bones occur in a hard cream-coloured limestone which is worked for road-metal. Fossils other than reptilian remains are not common, but among those found in the New Park Quarry is an ammonite determined by Mr. J. W. Tutcher asParkinsonia neuffensisOppel. The great majority of the bones come from the New Park Quarry, but the Oakham Quarry yielded certain of the crocodilian, theropod, and sauropod bones.
