VII.—The Upper Trias of Leicestershire
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
The Dane Hill Sandstone Group, as we propose to distinguish the higher of the two series of Upper Keuper sandstones, since it is well developed in the neighbourhood of the Dane Hills at Leicester, is well exposed in a little quarry at Ashleigh House. Here the highest part of the series is seen, with thin beds of flaggy marl and calcareous White or Green Marl, overlying a series of thick-bedded, currentbedded sandstones, of white colour, loose and friable, but hardening on exposure. The section has been described by Browne (1893), but at present is exposed to show a better sequence (see next page).
