Faunal and sedimentary study of the Aymestry limestone and adjacent beds in parts of Herefordshire and Shropshire

The fauna and sediments of the Aymestry Limestone were studied in 24 localities along the outcrop in parts of Herefordshire and Shropshire. The outcrop is divided into two areas, defined as the Main Outcrop, extending from Aymestrey in the south to View Edge in the north, and the Northeast Outcrop,...
