Abstract
Summary: The Great Scar Limestone contains numerous thin shale units which are only revealed in the underground exposures in caves and potholes. The shale beds are correlated across the area and their distribution is described. Various features of their structure and petrography are noted and the environment of deposition is deduced to be very shallow water and locally sub-aerial.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
