| Lithological Description: |
Mainly a hyaloclastite, composed of highly amygdaloidal and partly carbonated basaltic rock fragments. Minor basaltic lavas also occur. |
| Definition of Lower Boundary: |
Taken at the first bed of slumped, laminated dark grey to grey dolomitised limestone containing angular lapilli of amygdaloidal basalt lava (in Lees Farm Borehole, SK 15 SE/12); depth 182.02m. |
| Definition of Upper Boundary: |
Taken at the last occurrence of calcitic igneous rock and mudstone, or of hyaloclastite. This is overlain by calcareous mudstones and thin limestones of the Widmerpool Formation (in Tissington 1 and 2 Boreholes, SK 15 SE/13 and 14). |
| Thickness: |
Up to 44m recorded. |
| Geographical Limits: |
The principal outcrop extends from a locality 250m NW of Pethills (SK 207 493) to about 100m SE of Crakelow Farm (SK 177 535). |
