| Description: | Codden Hill Quarry, 3 m. SE of Barnstaple. Looking NE. Highly inclined beds of radiolarian chert and dark shales (Lower Carboniferous). Codden Hill near Barnstaple. The quarry has been opened in the limb of an anticline, which is traversed by faults and joints. The beds of chert break up under weathering and in the quarry into cuboidal blocks of hard stone suitable for road making. Fossils, which were common and include the form 'Prolecanites compressus', relate these rocks to the Lower Carboniferous Series. |
