Time

| Key time interval: | Planorbis | ||
| Age range of interval: | 201.40000 - 199.50000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphy comments: It lies in detached pieces, a few large blocks being found, about 3 or 4 inches thick, scattered about over the fields, and seems to be near the surface ; but no section is exposed. Brodie also recorded the presence of the zonal ammonite Psiloceras planorbis in these blocks of ‘firestones and guineabed’, which would suggest a Hettangian age for the insects. |
