In a number of places in the shale one saw
an abundance of Stigmaria roots and at least a dozen
critical small trees of 6-4 inch across. Some are Calo-
mites, then Lepidaria, and probably also Cordaites for
the leaves of C. are abundant. This evidence is only
positive that these plants grew in the muddy swampy places
while the streams close by were bringing in sand and
conglomerates. We see our Charadites, Asterocarpa or
Heterophis tree.
As one gets around Pudsey Point and into lower beds
one so mainly along the strike and see regularly bedded
sandy shales, sandstones with thin and irregular bits of
the conglomerate. Plant evidence is always at hand in these
firm paired strata but little is recognizable beyond
Cordaites leaves.
Still further southward and into lower beds the
conglomerates are firmer and the beds once sandstones
cleared from with angular granite pebbles and finally
red sandstones with the granite pebbles and some green-
ish quartzite. These red sandstones occur on the rounder
points to the north of Hoxne Cove.
In some green sandy shales associated with the above
and sandstones Bell found a ripple slab over 10 in.
