Hornsleasow Quarry

Hornsleasow Quarry () is a geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, notified in 1974.〔(Natural England SSSI information on the citation )〕〔(Cotswold District Local Plan, Appendix 1, Sites of Special Scientific Interest )〕 The site is listed in the 'Cotswold District' Local Plan 2001-2011 (on line) as a Regionally Important Geological Site (RIGS).〔(Cotswold District Local Plan, Appendix 3, Regionally Important Geological Sites )〕
==Location and geology==
The quarry (Snowshill Hill) lies in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and exposes a relatively thick sequence of Bathonian (Middle Jurassic) oolitic limestones, and thin clays of significant importance in correlating similar sequences in north Gloucestershire. The rocks, which belong to the Clypeus Grit, Chipping Norton Formation, Sharps Hill Formation and the Taynton Limetone Formation, are considered to have been laid down c. 170 million years ago. This would have been in a warm, shallow sea which covered much of the Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire areas. The conditions then would have been similar to those in the present day Bahama Banks in the Caribbean.〔
Evidence for the dating is provided by the sedimentary structures and the type of fossils found within the rocks which are well preserved. Hornsleasow Quarry is important, therefore, for the reconstruction of an ancient sea.〔
