Trowbarrow Quarry is located on the Silverdale Disturbance, a narrow belt of steeply dipping Carboniferous rocks in a region of otherwise very gentle dips. In this disused limestone quarry, we will look at some structural features, together with fossils (body and trace) and evidence of relative sea level change.
