Shallow-water sedimentation as illustrated in the upper devonian baggy beds / Мелководное осадкообразование на примере верхнедевонских впадин

The baggy beds of north devon and west Somerset comprise some 440 m of shallow-water marine sandstones and shales of Upper Devonian (Famennian) age. They succeed the Pickwell Down Sandstone and Upcott Beds of Old Red Sandstone facies, and are followed by the Pilton Beds, a neritic facies. The lower part of the Pilton Beds has been correlated with the Wocklumeria Stage (Stufe) VI of the Famennian (Goldring 1955, 1957). Unpublished work on the conodont and spore assemblages indicates that the Baggy Beds are also of Wocklumeria age (R. Austin, G. Dolby & J. Williams, personal communication).  <...>
