Simon Carpenter an expert in this area, has arranged special access to this quarry on Friday 28th March - please note the date – the meeting
has been scheduled for Friday to resolve the access problems that led
to its postponement last year.
A day exploring the Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic rocks of the
Somerton and Langport area, Somerset.
A number of working quarries in the Somerton and Langport areas
of Somerset will be visited where rocks of predominantly Upper Triassic
age are exposed. At Ashen Cross quarry these rocks are carefully
extracted, cut and polished for ornamental purposes. The limestone
contains a restricted invertebrate assemblage as well as occasional
isolated marine reptile bones. There are also many interesting
sedimentary features.
Lots of opportunities to collect and see some interesting geology.
Pub lunch or sandwiches.
You can sign up on the GA website or phone the office on 020 7434 9298.
