Description
Area, 0.074 ha Description This locality provides an excellent opportunity to study the Mid Spilsby nodule bed and the sedimentology of the sands on either side of what has been taken as the local base of the Cretaceous System. The site’s interest is further strengthened by the presence of a noteworthy bivalve fauna from the Lower Spilsby Sandstone.
