A Mid-Avonian Reef Limestone and Conglomerate in the Craven Lowlands

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The Lower Carboniferous rocks of the Craven Lowlands are predominantly fine-grained dark argillaceous limestones and calcareous mudstones and shales with a fauna of Zaphrentid or Caninoid phase. At various horizons and along various belts these argillaceous rocks are replaced by reef limestones and the associated crinoidal limestones, reef sands, and “calcaire grumeleux”. These lisnestones usually contain a specialized reef fauna or more rarely the standard coral-brachiopod fauna.
