DORSET LOCAL GEOLOGICAL SITES SURVEY Site number G ST71/11 Site name Todber quarries, Birds Quarry Summary description Jurassic, Corallian Group, Todber Freestone and Clavellata Beds Birds quarry is the westernmost of a complex which constitutes the type section of the Todber Freestone. It shows a 3.5m section. Site description Jurassic, Corallian Group, Todber Freestone and Clavellata Beds Birds Quarry has been used as a premix depot by Hansons for some years, and has been kept clear of vegetation by volunteers from the OUGS, DGAG and DIGS. The section which remains clear is the most easily accessible of the complex of quarries that constitute the type section of the Todber Freestone. There is a 3.5m section of current bedded, fine grained oosparite limestone containing scattered bivalve and coral fragments. The face runs east/west. The rock is false bedded, consisting of one massive unit with cross-bedding dipping to the north east. The Todber Freestone has been used for building over a wide area of North Dorset, though much of the historic building stone came from Marnhull. Close to Marnhull the stone is paler in colour, containing less iron than the same beds in Gannets’ and other quarries near Todber crossroads. Above the Todber Freestone, in apparently horizontal beds giving the appearance of a disconformity, is the lowest part of the Trigonia Clavellata Beds. These beds contain many bivalve fossils, and are therefore less suitable for building. The section at Bird’s quarry was illustrated by Blake and Hudleston in 1877.

Benefice Lammas Service A big ‘Thank You’ to Dee Trevor for making the lovely Lammas loaf for last Sunday’s Benefice service. Huge thanks also to “our man in Stour Row”, (well, woman actually!) Liz Newton, who took on so much of the organization and, of course, to Sally & Peter for loaning us their lovely farmyard and facilities. A tremendous amount of work goes into these special services and it is all greatly appreciated. Praying for our communities My alphabet went a bit askew last week and I missed out West Stour in our cycle of prayer! So, this week we pray for God’s blessing on that community in West Stour, including the congregation of St Mary’s, and all who live and work in the village and its surrounding area.
