VI.—A Sand-Pit at Hill Morton, near Rugby

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

During a recent visit of the Warwickshire Naturalists' and Archifiologists' Field Club to Rugby, a very interesting section was examined at Hill Morton. It consists, for the most part, of brown and light-coloured sands, exposed near the London and North-Western Railway, at least 50 feet thick, often false-bedded, the laminse of deposition being very irregular, interspersed here and there with numerous small pebbles, many of which are sandstone, none very large, though all are more or less rounded, and including much flint. Amongst these were many Lias Gryphaeas (chiefly G. incurva), and some Cretaceous, Oolitic and Liassic pebbles with occasional fossils; but apparently not many ancient rocks, some of which may possibly be Carboniferous.
