Rock 365 : Day 33 : Kidderminster Formation #365photos
Day 33 : The building stones of Staffordshire moves into the Lower Triassic rocks above the Variscan unconformity. This is a sandy member of the Kidderminster Formation, a rock formerly known as the Bunter Sandstone. These red-brown sandstones are often quite poorly cemented so were only quarried for local use. This sample is from Church Hill in Kinver and probably used to build the local church.
