The carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of the Lincolnshire Limestone (Bajocian) of the East Midlands are shown to be determined largely by two endmember components: marine precipitates and later sparry burial cements. The origin of major quantities of such burial cement is controversial, the extreme possibilities ranging from calcite precipitation from meteoric groundwaters to ...

The Middle Jurassic of this area comprises the Inferior and Great Oolite Limestone groups, a mixed succession of calcareous mudstones and coarsely oolitic and shelly limestones. Even though they may be quarried at widely different localities the Middle Jurassic limestones often show very similar characteristics and it can be difficult for the ...

Oxfordian Stage, lowest of the three divisions of the Upper Jurassic Series, representing all rocks formed worldwide during the Oxfordian Age, which occurred between million and million years ago during the Jurassic Period. (Some researchers have proposed a longer span for this stage

The Middle Jurassic Lincolnshire Limestone Formation displays a distinctive suite of diagenetic characteristics confined to a lenslike body at the top of the formation. This body occupies an area of approximately 250 km 2 with a maximum thickness of 8 m at the centre of the lens.

Lincoln limestone, is a sedimentary rock, an oolitic limestone. Dating from the Bajocian stage of the Middle Jurassic period 167171 million years ago. Formed from ooliths (small calcium carbonate particles) which formed around fragments of shell or sand and deposited under a warm, shallow subtropical sea along with skeletons of small marine ...

The scarp is formed by resistant Middle Jurassic rocks, principally the Lincolnshire Limestone series, and is remarkable for its length and straightness. It runs for over 50 miles from the Leicestershire border near Grantham to the River Humber, and is broken only twice by river gaps at Ancaster and Lincoln.

The inset is a closeup view of one of the individual limestone beds. Where fractured or dolomitised, these limestones (together with Triassic sandstones) also form reservoirs, although the Triassic reservoirs tend to be compartmentalised, and the most productive fields occur where hydrocarbons have migrated into the overlying Jurassic and ...

Conglomerate, limestone, and quartz sandstone (Middle and Lower Jurassic) at surface, covers < % of this area The Boyer Ranch Formation in the Clan Alpine and Stillwater Ranges in Pershing and Churchill Counties consists of a basal conglomerate overlain by partly silicified limestone that is overlain by quartz sandstone.

The Lincolnshire Limestone Formation, which crops out in eastern England from the Humber south for over 100 kilometres, is well exposed in the study area in the quarries of Cowthick, Clipsham, Copper Hill and Brauncewell.

The Lincolnshire Limestone Formation is a geological formation in England, part of the Inferior Oolite Group of the (Bajocian) Middle Jurassic strata of eastern England. It was formed around 165 million years ago, in a shallow, warm sea on the margin of the London Platform and has .

Of Middle Jurassic (Bajocian and Bathonian) age. Presence of a younger part of Twin Creek in this part of central UT (Thistle to Richfield, Wasatch uplift) uncertain because these rocks not exposed. Assignment of the limestone beds beneath Arapien modifies areal limits of Twin Creek as many earlier workers, where they have not recognized Twin ...

The Alwalton Marble is part of a Middle Jurassic age brownishgrey marine limestone and made up of poorly sorted fossilised oyster shells. It was used in the cathedrals at Lincoln, Peterborough, Bury St Edmunds and Ely, and in Southwell Minster, as well as many parish churches

Description. The scarp is formed by resistant Jurassic age rocks, principally the Lincolnshire Limestone Formation, and is remarkable for its length and straightness. It runs for over 50 miles from the Leicestershire border near Grantham to the Humber Estuary, and is broken only twice by river gaps at Ancaster and Lincoln, through which the rivers Slea and Witham respectively flow.

THE JURASSIC ROCKS OF THE LINCOLN DISTRICT 327 3. LINCOLNSHIRE LIMESTONE Throughout the area mapped the Lincolnshire Limestone is divisable into several persistent lithological groups. These are out lined on pp. 32730 and illustrated by vertical sections in Fig. 3, and by the geological map of the area (Plate 11).

A few metres of yellowweathering, fossiliferous limestone represents the Middle Jurassic Inferior Oolite. The limestone contains horizons of ooliths – small rounded grains with a concentrically layered crosssection – which grew by accretion of carbonate in shallow highenergy marine environments, and abraded crinoid ossicles derived from the Carboniferous Limestone.

Knowledge Hub 174 to 163 million years ago: Middle Jurassic In the Middle Jurassic the seas became shallower and the Middle Jurassic rocks consist of limestones, mudstones, sandstones and ironstones, most of which are quite thin beds, rarely more than a few metres thick.

A series of quarries in the Middle Jurassic fossiliferous limestone, known as Alwalton Marble, situated to the SouthWest of Peterborough. Alwalton Stone, which is brownishgrey and made up of poorly sorted fossilised oyster shells, is known to have been used from the 12th century until 1875.

Plants using Middle Jurassic limestones Limestones form successive escarpments across England at several levels in the Jurassic. These lie somewhat north and west of the chalk escarpment, and have been used for millennia as building stones, notably the Cotswold stones and the Rutland and Lincoln limestones.
