Blunt) As our Group met at Hampton Loade on this late February day the Severn Valley bore no traces of a recent light snowfall, though across the river snow could still be seen powdering the summit of Brown Clee. In fact we experienced sunshine intermittently throughout our visit, creating warm and welcome intervals between cloudy 2 spells and cold breezes. Our main aims were to search for the terrestrial caddis Enoicyla pusilla and to sample rot-holes in old trees for larvae of Diptera. After following the river bank and passing beneath the waterworks’ bridge we entered Long Covert, a tongue of mature deciduous woodland which we found to contain much Pedunculate Oak and Hazel, the latter liberally festooned with catkins.

The Golden Arrow © Gordon Dickens 1 Introduction Shropshire possesses one of the richest and most varied landscapes of any of the English counties. It offers a diverse range of scenery: from the lakes and rolling pasturelands around Ellesmere in the north, to the gaunt moorlands of the Clee Hills, with their stark industrial ruins, in the south; the densely wooded scarps of Wenlock Edge; or the straight, sandy lanes of the north-eastern heathlands, with their large arable fields and ‘big skys’.

BURROW and SUSAN TURNER Geosciences, Queensland Museum, 122 Gerler Rd, Hendra 4011, Queensland, Australia. E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT: Burrow, C.J. and Turner, S. 2018. Stem chondrichthyan microfossils from the Lower Old Red Sandstone of the Welsh Borderland. Acta Geologica Polonica, 68 (3), 321−334. Warszawa. Placoid and polyodontode scales of stem chondrichthyans have been found in the early Lochkovian “Ditton Group” of the Brown Clee Hill district, Shropshire, England and at Talgarth, south Wales. One of the forms is assigned to a new species of Altholepis Karatajūtė-Talimaa, 1997, a genus already recognised from Lochkovian shallow marine deposits in Celtiberia, Spain and the Northwest Territories, Canada as well as the type locality in Podolia, Ukraine. Altholepis salopensis sp. nov. is based on small polyodontode scales with typically three to eight high odontodes; the scale form was previously considered to belong to acanthodian “Nostolepis” robusta (Brotzen, 1934). The structure of other scales formerly assigned to “Nostolepis” robusta has led us to erect a new genus Jolepis for this scale form, which differs from Altholepis in lacking an ordered layout of odontodes. Jolepis robusta (Brotzen, 1934), originally (and possibly still) considered to be an acanthodian, is also known from the Baltic countries, Russia, and northern Germany (ex erratic limestones). Scales of acanthodian Parexus recurvus Agassiz, 1845, and/or possibly from the stem chondrichthyan Seretolepis elegans Karatajūtė-Talimaa, 1968 (scales of these two taxa are barely distinguishable), and of stem chondrichthyan Polymerolepis whitei Karatajūtė-Talimaa, 1968 are also present.

  • On the Carboniferous Deposit of the Brown Clee Hill and Its Relation To
    348 D. Jones—Coal-measures of the Brown Che Sill. TV.—Osr THE CARBONIFEROUS DEPOSIT OF THE BROWN OLBB HILL AND ITS BELATION TO CONTIGUOUS COAL-FIELDS. By T>. JOKES, F.G.S. rPHE Coal-measures of the Brown Clee are of themselves ex- I tremely insignificant and unimportant. The total area is limited, and the thickness of the coals would not have entitled them to be considered of commercial value, if it were not for the fact, that from its elevated position it is placed well above the reach of water, and hence the great difficulties which beset early mining operations in freeing the mines from water did not affect the coal-mines of the Brown Clee; consequently, in those times they were worked to advantage, but there is very little coal remaining to be won. They have, however, a value to the geologist, as indicative of the much wider range of the Coalbrookdale Coal-measures than is shown by its present boundary, for there is an unmistakable analogy between both deposits, to which, we shall presently refer.1 We are now at an elevation of 1730 feet above the level of the sea, upon the summit of a hill, which is surmounted with a capping of Jew-stone, and beneath it a patch of Coal-measures not exceeding a total thickness of 110 feet. Beneath that we have Millstone Grit, which, it has been stated, is 200 feet thick, but in my opinion is considerably less, and the Geological Survey have omitted to show that there is any whatever.

  • An Introduction to 700 Million Years of Earth History in Shropshire and Herefordshire
    ISSN 1750-855X (Print) ISSN 1750-8568 (Online) An introduction to 700 million years of earth history in Shropshire and Herefordshire 1 Peter Toghill TOGHILL, P. (2008). An introduction to 700 million years of earth history in Shropshire and Herefordshire. Proceedings of the Shropshire Geological Society, 13, 8–24. The beautiful landscape of the Welsh Marches is underlain by a rock sequence representing 10 of the 12 recognised periods of geological time. This remarkable variety, covering 700 million years of Earth history, has resulted from the interplay of three main factors: (1) erosion and faulting which have produced a very complex outcrop pattern; (2) southern Britain's position near to plate boundaries through most of late Precambrian and Phanerozoic time; and, most importantly, (3) the incredible 12,000 km, 500 million year, journey of southern Britain across the Earth's surface from the southern hemisphere to the northern, caused by plate tectonic processes. 1Church Stretton, Shropshire, UK. E-mail: [email protected] BACKGROUND This paper set the geological scene for the one-day symposium at Ludlow forming the centrepiece of the 2007 Marches Festival of Geology. However, this is not the place to provide a detailed description of the geology of Shropshire per se, for which the reader is referred to Peter Toghill’s Geology of Shropshire (2006), thereby to benefit from the author’s detailed knowledge of the local geology. The beautiful landscape of the Welsh Marches is underlain by a rock sequence representing ten of the twelve recognised periods of geological time (10 out of 13 if the Tertiary is subdivided into two periods).

Shropshire Hills Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform theirdecision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The informationthey contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.
