Much Wenlock Limestone Formation : ウィキペディア英語版 | Much Wenlock Limestone Formation
The Much Wenlock Limestone Formation is a series of Silurian limestone beds that date back to the Homerian age, the early part of the Wenlock epoch.〔Ratcliffe, K. T. and Thomas, A. T. 1999. Carbonate depositional environments in the late Wenlock of England and Wales. Geological Magazine, 136, 189-204.〕 The formation comprises nodular to thinly bedded limestones, with variable development of reef bodies that can be found exposed at Wenlock Edge and in a small area near Dudley. The formation is made up of three different members which have been classified as the Lower Quarried Limestone Member, the Nodular Beds Member and the Upper Quarried Limestone Member.〔Dorning, K. J. 1983. Palynology and stratigraphy of the Much Wenlock Limestone Formation, Dudley, Central England. Mercian Geologist, 20, 31-40.〕 Many of the members can be subdivided into separate lithofacies that would have been deposited under different environmental conditions. However the overall environment of deposition for the formation is in a shallow, tropical marine setting that is located between the storm wave base and the fair weather wave base. ==References== 〔
