Abstract

During a brief survey of the Inferior Oolite in the neighbourhood of Doulting, Somerset, in 1905, I visited a disused quarry on the hill a mile and a half north of Evercreech, and situated where the boundary-line between the Inferior Oolite and Midford Sands is shown on the Geological Survey Map, Sheet xix. I was surprised to find that instead of the somewhat massive rock exposed in the quarry being Inferior Oolite, it was Marlstone, capped with Upper Lias clays and limestones. Since the section is becoming rapidly overgrown, it appears desirable to record the details obtained for the benefit of those who will survey the district in the future for the New Series Maps.
