The Petalocrinus Limestone Horizon at Woolhope, Herefordshire

Abstract

The classic ground of the Woolhope Silurian inlier, situated some 5 miles south-east of the city of Hereford, has been described by various authors¹; its general dome-shaped form and the sequence of beds from Upper Llandovery to Downtonian are, therefore, well known. This communication deals in greater detail with the central area of the dome, which is occupied by the outcrops of Upper Llandovery rocks and overlying Woolhope Limestone.
