Antrim BT40 3SP, Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland. [email protected] [email protected] Ammonites are a conspicuous element of the earliest 24 34 Jurassic macrofauna at this site. Most taxa are represented by at least some 3-dimensional material, preserved either in pyrite or early diagenetic carbonate 33g concretions. 23 33f Caloceras sp. Selected specimens are illustrated here at actual size, unless indicated otherwise. 33e top Bed 27 22 The strata in the picture to the left encompass the top of Psiloceras cf. plicatulum Caloceras johnstoni top Bed 26 the ‘Pre-planorbis Beds’, the erugatum Horizon (Bed 24) and the stratigraphic range of Neophyllites (beds 25 33d to 27). 21 top Bed 25 The site has significant potential for designation as a Bed 24 nodules Global Stratotype Section and Point for the base of the 33c Jurassic System. In addition, this part of the foreshore 20 top Bed 23 would make an ideal stratotype location for the erugatum, imitans and antecedens biohorizons, for which surface stratotypes have yet to be designated. Psiloceras plicatulum 19 33b Psiloceras plicatulum A diverse macro- and microfauna Specimen from lower 33a part of Bed 25 (ammonites, bivalves, gastropods, 18 Psiloceras cf. sampsoni (enlarged x3) This highly evolute example is the echinoids, crinoids, trace-fossils and 32 stratigraphically highest example of occasional vertebrates) is present in the sampsoni recovered from the site.

  • Draft Northern Area Plan 2016 RSPB Northern Ireland Response
    Draft Northern Area Plan 2016 RSPB Northern Ireland response √ support for issue or policy X objection, omission (text emboldened) C concern 1. INTRODUCTION & CONTEXT 1.1. Plan Aim and Guiding Principles. The RSPB in Northern Ireland welcomes the Plan Aim and Guiding Principles. In √ particular we strongly support the objectives: • to promote sustainable development in accordance with the RDS • to identify land for housing…with preference for sites within the urban areas • to promote the integration of public transport etc, and • to protect and enhance the character, quality and biodiversity of natural and man- made environments. All policies should therefore reflect the equal contributions of environmental, social and economic concerns and we hope this will be mirrored in policy implementation. Importantly, the balance between the three cornerstones of sustainable development should not be seen as a trade-off, but rather the opportunity to ensure policies which are mutually beneficial to the environment, society and the economy. 1.2. Strategic Environmental Appraisal (SEA) The RSPB welcomes the publication of a Strategic Environmental Appraisal for the Northern Area Plan 2016. We believe that the Environmental Report produced for the Northern Area Plan is a substantial improvement on the BMAP Environmental Report. √ However, the RSPB believes that Planning Service has still not tackled all biodiversity X considerations adequately in the SEA for the Northern Area Plan. Further details are provided in the separate SEA response document, attached. 2. STRATEGY & FRAMEWORK 2.1. Housing HOU2-3 The RSPB strongly supports the plan, monitor and manage strategy for housing, √ including policy HOU2. We are also pleased to see that policy HOU3 includes the requirement that natural features on site should be incorporated into the scheme.

This paper seeks to redress that situation and presents a synthesis of records of the 14 uppermost Triassic and Lower Jurassic from both onshore and offshore basins as well as descriBing 15 the sedimentological characteristics of the main lithostratigraphical units encountered. Existing data 16 have been supplemented with a re-examination and logging of some outcrops and the integration of 17 data from recent hydrocarbon exploration wells and boreholes. The Late Triassic Penarth Group and 18 Early Jurassic Lias Group can Be recognised across the RepuBlic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. In 19 some onshore basins, almost 600 m of strata are recorded, however in offshore Basins thicknesses in 20 excess of two kilometres for the Lower Jurassic have now been recognised, although little detailed 21 information is currently availaBle. The transition from the Triassic to the Jurassic was a period of 22 marked gloBal sea-level rise and climatic change (warming) and this is reflected in the 23 lithostratigraphical record of these sediments in the basins of Northern Ireland and offshore Basins 24 of the Republic of Ireland.
