VICARY BITDLEIOU SALTERTON
283
On the Pebble- bed of Budleigh Salterton. By W. Vicary, Esq.,
Esq., F.G.S. With a Note on the Fossils; by J. W. Salter,

.Plates XV.-XVII..
In bringing the fossils figured in Plates XV.-XVII. under the notice
of the Geological Society, I beg to offer a few remarks on the locality
in which they Avere found, and on one or two other circumstances
connected with them.
If we look at a geological map of Devon, it will be seen that from
Petit Tor, near Babbacombe Bay, to a little way beyond Sidmouth,
the coast exhibits cliffs of the New Red Sandstone formation.
These rocks present us with variously modified features. At about
a quarter of a mile west of Budleigh Salterton, and for about a mile
and a half further on in the same direction, is a bed containing
pebbles in large quantities, varying from a small size to that of a
man's head. These are generally of a flattened-oval form, are com-
pletely free from angularity, and are known in the neighbourhood
as Budleigh pebbles or " popples."
The figures illustrating this paper represent the part of the cliff
where this pebble-bed is found, and which furnishes the pebbles in
which the fossils are imbedded.
The coast here runs in a direction nearly east and west, and it
will be observed that the dip of the bed is to the east. The diagram

also shows that as the pebble-bed rises up from its first appearance
at the beach to its highest level, the regularity of the rise is disturbed
by the interference of several small faults. The greatest thickness
of the bed is probably a little over a hundred feet. The pebbles
and sand of which it is composed cohere so slightly that any portion

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
