Abstract
Teilia Quarry, from which the fossils described in this paper have been collected, is situated about a quarter of a mile north-east of the village of Gwaenysgor, which is distant about five miles from Rhyl and one from Prestatyn.The geology of the district has been fully described by Mr G. H. Morton, F.G.S., from whose paper the following notes are compiled:—A considerable part of North Flintshire is occupied by a great development of limestone, which is generally referred to in writings on the subject as “Carboniferous Limestone.” It forms a tract of hilly ground, some of the higher points rising to a height of over 800 feet. These limestones lie immediately beneath the Cefn-y-Fedw sandstones, and occupy a hollow of considerable extent in Silurian strata.
