Abstract
During the Easter Field Meeting of the Sedgwick Club, portions of the Neptunian dyke at Hazier Hill, near Church Stretton, were collected and brought back to Cambridge for further examination. The material consisted of a buff-coloured, sandy mudstone with scatters of facetted pebbles of quartzite and igneous material, including weathered rhyolite, up to a centimetre in diameter. The material proved to be richly fossiliferous and the following fauna was obtained which, we believe, throws some light on the age of these sand-filled fissures :—Keywords
