Abstract/NotesWhen the new railway from Nottingham to Market Harborough was made, several instructive sections in the Upper and Middle Lias series were opened out between the latter place and Tilton. Most of these are now covered up and grass-grown, but one of the best is still partially laid bare in the deep cutting at Tilton Station. This Tilton section has become one of considerable interest to the geologists of the Midland district, from the complete and characteristic exposure which it gives of the Marlstone Rock of Leicestershire in its fully developed and unweathered form, and also on account of the rich fauna which that rock, and in particular its top or ‘Transition Bed,’ has here yielded.
