Abstract
SUMMARY: Cored borehole sequences in the Wash area of eastern England show that the Lower Kimmeridge Clay can be divided into 35 distinctive beds, based on a combination of lithological and faunal characters. Each of these beds can be recognised over an area of 10 by 30 km and many of them even in the Warlingham borehole, Surrey, and the Dorset type sections, some 180 and 300 km distant respectively. This stratigraphical subdivision therefore provides a standard for the Lower Kimmeridge Clay of eastern and southern England. The ammonite genus Xenostephanus is recorded from the upper cymodoce Zone and precise ranges are recorded for species of Amoeboceras, Aulacostephanus, Aspidoceras and Sutneria.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
