Stowell Park borehole (Farmington Freestone, 100-108ft) (Jurassic of the United Kingdom)

Where: Gloucestershire, United Kingdom (51.8° N, 1.9° W: paleocoordinates 41.0° N, 8.7° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Farmington Freestone Member (Stonesfield Slate Formation), Middle Jurassic (174.7 - 161.5 Ma)

• "100ft 1in - 107ft 7in" (Melville 1956)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: ooidal limestone

• "the intervening beds [between the two oolitic limestones] were represented in the cores by bedded oolitic freestone... presumably interbedded with softer material which was not recovered. This group is correlated with the Farmington Freestone which is a homogeneous mass of oolite some 17ft thick in the quarries a mile NE of Northleach Hospital" (Green & Melville 1956)

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression

Reposited in the BGS

Collection methods: core
