Clevelands Malachite from the Stainton gravel beds

This piece is Malachite - pure copper ore .

Jasper from the Stainton gravel beds

I've now identified this piece as Jasper , the closest recorded occurrence I can find is in East Yorkshire , to the south of us with the Cleveland hills being a natural barrier from glacial transportation . As I've stated before I believe all of the well preserved mineral pieces ive found in the Stainton gravel beds , were transported to the area by man.

Triassic fossils found in Mercia mudstone

I believe I have found the fossils in the Mercia mudstone of Ancient Cleveland North East England . I have recently collected several ripple and bed samples from the river Leven , and after cleaning Ime sure there are fossils in the samples .

The image above shows what I believe to be the fossil remains of a Triassic life form to the bottom left of the two reduction spots , the image zooms quite well .

Above close up of what I believe is a fossil in the Mercia mudstone of Cleveland .

Geological Surveys Boulder Clay . Still no sign of it in the South West of Ancient Cleveland !

The opening excavations at Hemlington , and yet again as in Yarm Thornaby , Coulby Newham the very same red clay as in the beck valleys , with no large stone content !

These excavations are 12 ft deep in places .

I have only ever noticed one constant in the superficial deposits of south west Cleveland , that is a definite relationship in colour with the red and blue Triassic Bed rock it sits above , although the superficial surface deposits are highly calcareous .

I have now viewed more new build sites between Redcar and Yarm with exactly the same findings , No Boulder Clay !

South West Cleveland's ancient deep beck valley deposits

I am now starting to believe that the deep beck valleys of the south Cleveland area have been utilised by ancient Humans, not just after there creation but during there creation , up to 17.000 ybp.

I have so far over a seven year period, excavated stone and bone tools,and preserved mammal bones including Human bone from the Stainton gravel beds.

Then excavated countless mammal bones including both bone and stone tools and pottery, and again Human bones excavated, from what looks to be ancient lakes created in these deep beck valleys, either for burial or sacrificial purposes.

A simple record of mineralized Mammal bones and older fossils and minerals, excavated and found after release by flood waters from the recently descovered Stainton gravel beds. I am growing in cofidence now that i am getting close to proving the superficial geology beneath the south west area of cleveland is not the jumbled up glacial mess it is stated to be. And that mammals that have been stated as absent at the time that the Stainton gravel beds were formed, were infact here along with Humans. I have also stumbled upon a phonomina concerning the magnetic attraction of the Cleveland dyke in the Stainton area. Posts concerning the Stainsby deposits are not related to the much older Stainton gravel beds.
