Note on the Age of the Milburn Group

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

ON the western side of Cross Fell lies a group of beds consisting of andesitic lavas and ashes, with intercalated beds of shale. The shales are tranquilly bedded, testifying to their having been deposited in quiet water. It has therefore been inferred that the igneous material is volcanic, and was poured out on a sea-floor. The beds were first described by Harkness, later by Goodchild, who gave the name “Milburn Group”, and subsequently by Professors Nicholson and Marr.
