Teffont Evias Quarry and Lane Cutting
Teffont Evias Quarry and Lane Cutting is a 3.6 hectare geological Site of Special Scientific Interest at Teffont Evias in Wiltshire, England, notified in 1989. It consists of two parts, Teffont Evias Quarry (), and Teffont Evias Lane Cutting (). Forest trees are currently growing on both sites, but there are small accessible exposures on the sides of quarry and roadway cuttings.
The sites offer exposures of a mid-Purbeck Lagerstätte, fine-grained limestone rock with good conditions for fossilization.〔Wiltshire (including Swindon). Natural England. Our work: England's geology. http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/conservation/geodiversity/englands/counties/area_ID39.aspx Accessed 3 August 2013〕 These rocks and fossils were deposited after shallow seas receded about 146 million years ago. They record a warm environment of lakes and coastal lagoons, with occasional marine transgressions such as the Cinder Bed. Large fossils are rare, but they include insects of at least four Orders, fish, and crocodilians, also remains of vegetation, including a large tree〔Forests of the Dinosaurs: Wiltshire’s Jurassic Finale.

This includes a pit with a recorded section from the early Jurassic Lias Group up to the Cinder Bed (formerly identified as the boundary between Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks, now regarded as early Cretaceous).〔 With a wealth of fossils this is one of the most important Purbeck Bed localities outside Dorset.〔English Nature fact sheet on Teffont Evias Quarry Lane Cutting.
