Lavernock Point | Martill D. M., Vidovic S. U., et al (2016) | Lower Lias - Blue Lias - Bull Cliff | "The cliff at this locality is ~7 m high and exposes the top of the Late Triassic Penarth Group on the east side, and the Blue Lias Formation of the Lower Lias Group forming the point. Structurally this is the southwest dipping limb of the Lavernock syncline in the Bristol Channel Basin. The cliff fall in which Dracoraptor was discovered comprises material restricted to the lowest two to three metres of the section and comprises debris mainly from the Bull Cliff Member of the Blue Lias Formation | "limestone" | 201.3 - 199.3 Ma Early Jurassic |
