Extract

The geological importance of this boring lies in the fact that it is the deepest which has yet been made in the Bovey Basin, that the site is nearly in the middle of that basin, and that it is evidence of the great depth of the syncline or trough in which the Bovey deposits lie. Although it did not reach the base of these deposits it is highly desirable that we should know the exact depth to which it was carried, as it is the only means of estimating the minimum depth of the basin.
