| Duchy Quarry (St. Bride's Island) | Kuehne W. G. (1949) | Fissure fills in Late Carboniferous (Dinantian) limestone. Deposits resulting from Liassic transgression over Carboniferous limestones. Kermack, Mussett, and Rigney (1981) note that a Lower Sinemurian age for the Welsh fissures is supported by evidence in David Pacey's (1978) thesis, which is apparently as yet unpublished. | "limestone" | 201.3 - 190.8 Ma Early Jurassic |
