Abstract

Data from released wells indicate that the subdivision of the Sherwood Sandstone Group into the Budleigh Salterton Pebble Beds and the Otter Sandstone Formation is equally applicable in both the outcrop and subcrop of the Group in the Wessex Basin. The Sherwood Sandstone Group was deposited largely from braided streams but an inland sabkha may have occupied the depocentre during deposition of the lower parts of the Otter Sandstone Formation. The Budleigh Salterton Pebble Beds may have been removed from parts of the Wessex Basin by erosion prior to deposition of the Otter Sandstone Formation.
