The Geology of the Ure Valley Water Main Trenches 1969–71

C. G. Godwin

Abstract: Summary Rocks of Namurian age, exposed in 11 miles (18km) of pipeline trenches, are described, and details of new localities for several marine horizons are given. The Marsdenian Stage has been proved, for the first time in the area, at an exposure near Winksley.

SUMMARY Some general principles about sedimentation resulting from major eustatic cycles in the Dinantian are applied to a reinterpretation of north of England Namurian successions in terms of major cycles of transgression and regression. Significant faunal renewals occur immediately subsequent to the development of more than usual regressive features. Eleven major cycles are distinguished in the Namurian of Britain. Such cycles are unconformity-bounded on shelf or ‘block’ areas (where the basal faunas of each major cycle are missing) and the term mesothem is recommended for them. A brief survey suggests that these cycles are widely applicable in the northern hemisphere and are of eustatic origin. Their significance in terms of a proposed new generally-applicable stratigraphical boundary in the middle of the Namurian is discussed.
