Benett notes: 'The whole depth of Chicksgrove Quarry to the bottom of the stone, is sixty one feet four inches measured by John Montague foreman of the Quarry. There are scales of fishes, ammonites and various other organic remains formed on this Quarry but I have not yet been able to ascertain to which of the beds they respectively belong and therefore could not insert them in their proper place.' |
