The site is unique in that the limestones seen here are much more closely comparable with rocks of similar age found in the Cotswolds than with rock sequences seen elsewhere in Somerset.

The Narryer Gneiss Terrane is divided into four major rock sequences ( Myers 1990 ); the Dugel Gneiss, Meeberrie Gneiss, Manfred Complex, and unassigned polydeformed leucocratic gneisses and metasediments.
23.
The basin was complex and consisted, at different times, of a variety of sub-basins separated by blocks across which typically sedimentation continued but resulted in much thinner rock sequences.
24.
On a broader scale, other factors also exert a control on the threshold pressure, such as depth of the rock sequence at the time of faulting, and the maximum burial depth.
25.
Long the subject of debate as to how they relate to surrounding rock sequences, some geologists place the Badenoch Group within the Moine Supergroup whilst others describe them as simply Moine-like.
26.
Misra was the first to prepare and present a systematic geological map of the region, to classify and describe the rock sequence of the area and to work out the depositional history of the rocks.
27.
"The rolling rock sequence at the beginning of ` Raiders of the Lost Ark'was consciously borrowed from one of the Uncle Scrooge stories, ` The Seven Cities of Cibola, "'
28.
More recently, the adjective " faunal " has been dropped as regional and global correlations of rock sequences have become relatively certain and there is less need for faunal labels to define the age of formations.
29.
Note that the subdivision of the British Carboniferous rock sequence has undergone considerable revision in recent years and many traditional sequence names are now obsolete in formal use, though of course they remain widespread in the literature.
30.
Almost continuous exposures of a Devonian and Silurian rock sequence occur in the bed and sides of the river in this part of its course and have resulted in its designation as a geological site of special scientific interest.
