This is were i first noticed the deposits.After scraping away the stuff shrouding the deposits, i could make out that i had the same sequence of deposits as at Stainton beck about a km to the east.
There seems to be at least 7 different layers in this excavation and as at Stainton the gravel bed is rich in fossils.
The gravel bed can be seen above the spade handle with the red-brown deposit above as at Stainton.
This red-orange deposit was a surprise Ive not come across it before, at least not in this state.
This pic shows the sequence of deposits including a thin layer of blue clay below the red orange deposit.
