Extract

The area to be described is that part of the Lias outcrop extending from Lincoln southwards to Barrow-on-Soar and Grantham, and includes south-west Lincolnshire and small portions of northeast Leicestershire and east Nottinghamshire (see Map, Fig. 1).

The rocks of this district were mapped by the Geological Survey, and an account of some of them was published in 1885 and 1888; the south-western part of the area has been resurveyed and described in more recent memoirs. A summary of the geology of the area was prepared in 1910 by A. J. Jukes-Browne, but except for these publications the literature is scattered and consists mainly of short papers; details of these are given where they are referred to.
