Ammonoidea

Ammonoids are extinct spiral shelled cephalopods comprising the subclass Ammonoidea.

Biostratigraphy

Biostratigraphy is the branch of stratigraphy which focuses on correlating and assigning relative ages of rock strata by using the fossil assemblages contained within them.

British Geological Survey

The British Geological Survey (BGS) is a partly publicly funded body which aims to advance geoscientific knowledge of the United Kingdom landmass and its continental shelf by means of systematic surveying, monitoring and research.

Cetiosaurus

Cetiosaurus meaning 'whale lizard', from the Greek keteios/κήτειος meaning 'sea monster' (later, 'whale') and sauros/σαυρος meaning 'lizard', is a genus of herbivorous sauropod dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic Period, living about 168 million years ago in what is now Britain. Inferior Oolite and Cetiosaurus are Jurassic England.

Cotswolds

The Cotswolds is a region of central South West England, along a range of rolling hills that rise from the meadows of the upper River Thames to an escarpment above the Severn Valley and the Vale of Evesham.

Dinosaur

Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria.

Endemism

Endemism is the state of a species only being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.

England

England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.

Frogden Quarry

Frogden Quarry is a 0.2 hectare geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Dorset, England, notified in 1954, by geologist Benjamin Starr.

Grantham Formation

The Grantham Formation is a geological formation in England, which dates to the Middle Jurassic Aalenian age around 172 million years ago. Inferior Oolite and Grantham Formation are Aalenian Stage, Jurassic England and Jurassic System of Europe.

Great Oolite Group

The Great Oolite Group is a Middle Jurassic stratigraphic unit that outcrops in southern England. Inferior Oolite and Great Oolite Group are Jurassic England and Jurassic System of Europe.

Group (stratigraphy)

In geology, a group is a lithostratigraphic unit consisting of a series of related formations that have been classified together to form a group.

Jurassic

The Jurassic is a geologic period and stratigraphic system that spanned from the end of the Triassic Period million years ago (Mya) to the beginning of the Cretaceous Period, approximately Mya.

Lias Group

The Lias Group or Lias is a lithostratigraphic unit (a sequence of rock strata) found in a large area of western Europe, including the British Isles, the North Sea, the Low Countries and the north of Germany. Inferior Oolite and Lias Group are Jurassic England and Jurassic System of Europe.

Limestone

Limestone (calcium carbonate) is a type of carbonate sedimentary rock which is the main source of the material lime.

See Inferior Oolite and Limestone

Lincolnshire Limestone Formation

The Lincolnshire Limestone Formation is a geological formation in England, part of the Inferior Oolite Group of the (Bajocian) Middle Jurassic strata of eastern England. Inferior Oolite and Lincolnshire Limestone Formation are Bajocian Stage and Jurassic System of Europe.

Lithostratigraphy

Lithostratigraphy is a sub-discipline of stratigraphy, the geological science associated with the study of strata or rock layers.

Magnosaurus

Magnosaurus (meaning 'large lizard') was a genus of theropod dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic of England. Inferior Oolite and Magnosaurus are Jurassic England.

Megalosaurus

Megalosaurus (meaning "great lizard", from Greek μέγας, megas, meaning 'big', 'tall' or 'great' and σαῦρος, sauros, meaning 'lizard') is an extinct genus of large carnivorous theropod dinosaurs of the Middle Jurassic Epoch (Bathonian stage, 166 million years ago) of southern England. Inferior Oolite and Megalosaurus are Jurassic England.

Northampton Sand Formation

The Northampton Sand Formation, sometimes called the Northamptonshire Sand, is a Middle Jurassic geological formation which is placed within the Inferior Oolite Group. Inferior Oolite and Northampton Sand Formation are Aalenian Stage and Jurassic System of Europe.

Oolite

Oolite or oölite is a sedimentary rock formed from ooids, spherical grains composed of concentric layers.

See Inferior Oolite and Oolite

Organic matter

Organic matter, organic material, or natural organic matter refers to the large source of carbon-based compounds found within natural and engineered, terrestrial, and aquatic environments.
