Abstract

The Cornbrook Sandstone of Titterstone Clee Hill has plants of Westphalian (Middle Coal Measures) age. It is thus probably a correlative of the lower Kinlet Group of the Forest of Wyre. The base is unconformable to the Old Red Sandstone and Carboniferous Limestone while the top is apparently conformable with Productive Coal Measures of the Sweet Coal Group, also of Middle Coal Measures age.
