Abstract
Summary Four cored boreholes drilled in connection with prospecting operations at the Swinhope lead-zinc mine, East Allendale, have provided for the first time in this area, continuous sections of the strata from the Lower Felltop Limestone down to the Great Limestone for geological investigation. The proportion of marine strata is higher than has previously been supposed, and in addition to fossiliferous shale and sandstone includes several thin limestones. The section is compared with Carruthers’ classic Coalcleugh section, and with the sections recorded by the surveyors of the Beaumont mines at Allenheads. An account of the fauna is included.
