Where: Staffordshire, United Kingdom (52.6° N, 2.2° W: paleocoordinates 52.5° N, 2.2° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Chibanian (0.8 - 0.1 Ma)

• Samples of flattened wood from the deposit were submitted for dating but provided infinite dates (in excess of 44,000 years B.P. (Birm 162). Examination of the pollen in the sequence indicated an interglacial age (A. V. Morgan, 1973). It has been suggested by R. G. West (personal communication, 1970) that the sequence represents an early phase of the Hoxnian Interglacial.
