Geological magazine : Vol. 92 Iss. 1-6 Year. 1955Summary: Abstract
Evidence from graded bedding and other sedimentary structures has shown that in the eastern outcrop of the Western Longmyndian rocks of the Shrewsbury area the stratigraphical base lies towards the east. Since in the western outcrop of these rocks the base is believed to lie towards the west, Professor Whittard's suggestion that the Western Longmyndian rocks are folded into a syncline, with the “ Oakswood Group ” representing a repetition of the “ Bayston Group ”, is accepted. The form and age of the fold are briefly discussed.
