Abstract
SUMMARY: Two differing mudstone suites, in places with an intervening non-sequence, overlie the Clowne Seam. The earlier suite is localised, and includes the Clowne Marine Band at its base. The overall succession represents an onlap relationship with the peat, commencing with near-marine creeks and bays and continuing with fresher waters containing a prolific ostracod and bivalve fauna. Total submergence of the Clowne peat was achieved during the deposition of the later suite, which has no marine affinities. This progressive flooding is related to thickness and petrographic variations in the underlying coal, which locally includes quartzitic lenses (‘ quarzlagen ’). The possible origins of these lenses are reviewed.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
