Ancholme Group

The Ancholme Group is a geologic group in England. Kellaways Formation and Ancholme Group are United Kingdom geologic formation stubs.

See Kellaways Formation and Ancholme Group

Bathonian

In the geologic timescale the Bathonian is an age and stage of the Middle Jurassic.

British Isles

The British Isles are a group of islands in the North Atlantic Ocean off the north-western coast of continental Europe, consisting of the islands of Great Britain, Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Inner and Outer Hebrides, the Northern Isles (Orkney and Shetland), and over six thousand smaller islands.

Callovian

In the geologic timescale, the Callovian is an age and stage in the Middle Jurassic, lasting between 165.3 ± 1.1 Ma (million years ago) and 161.5 ± 1.0 Ma.

Cornbrash Formation

The Cornbrash Formation is a Middle Jurassic geological formation in England. Kellaways Formation and Cornbrash Formation are Callovian Stage, stratigraphy of the United Kingdom and United Kingdom geologic formation stubs.

England

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

Geological formation

A geological formation, or simply formation, is a body of rock having a consistent set of physical characteristics (lithology) that distinguishes it from adjacent bodies of rock, and which occupies a particular position in the layers of rock exposed in a geographical region (the stratigraphic column).

See Kellaways Formation and Geological formation

Geology

Geology is a branch of natural science concerned with the Earth and other astronomical objects, the rocks of which they are composed, and the processes by which they change over time.

See Kellaways Formation and Geology

Guliemina

Guliemina is a species of extinct ammonite from the Jurassic period in England.

See Kellaways Formation and Guliemina

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.

London–Brabant Massif

The London–Brabant Massif or London–Brabant Platform is, in the tectonic structure of Europe, a structural high or massif that stretches from the Rhineland in western Germany across northern Belgium (in the province of Brabant) and the North Sea to the sites of East Anglia and the middle Thames in southern England.

Mediterranean Sea

The Mediterranean Sea is a sea connected to the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by the Mediterranean Basin and almost completely enclosed by land: on the north by Southern Europe and Anatolia, on the south by North Africa, on the east by the Levant in West Asia, and on the west almost by the Morocco–Spain border.

Mudstone

Mudstone, a type of mudrock, is a fine-grained sedimentary rock whose original constituents were clays or muds.

See Kellaways Formation and Mudstone

Oxford Clay

The Oxford Clay (or Oxford Clay Formation) is a Jurassic marine sedimentary rock formation underlying much of southeast England, from as far west as Dorset and as far north as Yorkshire. Kellaways Formation and Oxford Clay are Callovian Stage and Jurassic System of Europe.

See Kellaways Formation and Oxford Clay

Sandstone

Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized (0.0625 to 2 mm) silicate grains, cemented together by another mineral.

See Kellaways Formation and Sandstone

Siltstone

Siltstone, also known as aleurolite, is a clastic sedimentary rock that is composed mostly of silt.

See Kellaways Formation and Siltstone

United Kingdom

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom (UK) or Britain, is a country in Northwestern Europe, off the coast of the continental mainland.
