British Middle Jurassic Stratigraphy (Geological Conservation Review Series No. 26) 2002

Abstract

Volume 26 of the Geological Conservation Review series, British Middle Jurassic Stratigraphy, describes over 100 Middle Jurassic Geological Conservation Review sites, from the Dorset coast to the Inner Hebrides off the north-west coast of Scotland, and covers about 20 million years of Earth history from about 160 to 180 million years ago.

Together, the site descriptions provide a representative picture of much of the British Middle Jurassic succession, which is characterized by sedimentary rock types reflecting a wide variety of shallow marine, saltmarsh, lagoonal, deltaic and fluvial depositional environments.

The contents of the volume include:

Prelims – including an introduction to the Geological Conservation Review (GCR) and the list of sites discussed in the volume.
Chapter 1 – General introduction to the Aalenian to Callovian stratigraphy of Great Britain
Chapter 2 – The Middle Jurassic stratigraphy of Wessex
Chapter 3 – The Middle Jurassic stratigraphy of the Cotswolds
Chapter 4 – The Middle Jurassic stratigraphy of the East Midlands
Chapter 5 – The Middle Jurassic stratigraphy of North Yorkshire
Chapter 6 – The Middle Jurassic stratigraphy of Scotland
References, Glossary, Fossil Index and General Index
