THE SEDIMENTOLOGY AND STRATIGRAPHY OF RED BEDS IN THE WESTPHALIAN A TO C OF CENTRAL ENGLAND Thesis submitted to the University of Keele for the degree of Ph.D. by Bernard Maurice Besly B.A. 1983 M7S308 Abstract Red beds in the Westphalian A to C of Central England belong to the Etruria Formation. Examination of exposures and cores has allowed subdivision of this Formation into three Facies Associations. Facies Association I forms the gradational base of the red bed sequence. The sediments resemble the underlying Productive Coal Measures, consisting dominantly of grey organic-rich mudstones. Much of this Association is formed by seat-earth palaeosols, which occasionally contain red pigment. Facies Association II forms most of the Etruria Formation, and consists largely of dark red mudstone. Throughout there are mottled horizons which are interpreted as lateritic palaeosols. Occasional upward-fining sand bodies containing lateral accretion surfaces are present. Facies Associations I and II are interpreted as fluvial deposits. The rivers were dominated by suspended load and deposited thick overbank sequences. In Association I the overbank areas were swampy, while in Association II good drainage prevailed.

Louis Renault himself had hired Emile Rédélé right at the beginning of the 20th Century. At the end of the First World War, at the request of Louis Renault, the young Emile Rédélé settled in Dieppe and opened a Renault dealership there in rue Thiers. Two years later, Jean-Emile- Amédée Rédélé was born on May 17, 1922. After completing his studies in Normandy, Jean Rédélé took his Baccalauréat exam during the Second World War and came into contact with people as diverse as Antoine Blondin, Gérard Philipe and Edmond de Rothschild.
