(SO 29) was reopened in 1932 and listed by him (1952 : 160). He noted that the c. 32 ft (9-75 m) of rock exposed could be divided into three parts: 3. Shales, 12 ft (3-66 m), 2. Mainly limestone, nearly 10 ft (3 m), 1. Flags, shales and limestones, nearly 10 ft (3 m). To the east of the quarry and in the nearby roadway (Loc. 161) an underlying succession of flaggy, calcareous beds with bands of ashy material added a further 66 ft (20 m) of strata. West of the quarry and along the road leading towards Rorrington (Locs 164-6) successively higher levels were mapped. Near the point where the same road crosses Lower Wood Brook, a tributary of Desert Brook (Fig. 28, p. 42), and immediately NW along the stream, are exposures of blue- black mudstones (Loc. 144) with layers up to 3 in (76 mm) thick of small, black, nodular concre- tions about the size of a pea. These strata were originally mapped by Whittard as Rorrington Member but were later reinterpreted as Meadowtown Member. SE of the same road/stream junction, exposures throughout much of the Member are marked sporadically along Lower Wood Brook; the apparently lowest beds visible are marked at Loc. 504, where they comprise hard mudstones with massive bands of fine-grained tuffaceous material, and the lower boundary of the Member is drawn between this point and the nearby Loc. 505 which exposes blue-black, micace- ous shales of the Betton Member. The outcrop of the Meadowtown Member extends NNE from the eponymous hamlet as a broad strip that is 'stepped' westwards slightly at each of three small east-west faults, two of which co
