Abstract
A boring that was completed in 1921 by Messrs. Pease and Partners, at Roddymoor Colliery, near Crook, Co. Durham, about 5 miles north-west of Bishop Auckland, is of considerable importance. I had the good fortune to be consulted in connexion with the correlation of the strata in the lower part of the section, and was also allowed to make a thorough examination of the whole of the cores. The stratigraphical results are of much interest, and it is mainly with these I propose to deal in this paper. Mr. R. G. Carruthers, of H.M. Geological Survey, also examined the cores, and on his suggestion they were broken up and the fossils in them collected by Mr. Tate, of the Survey. It is hoped that when these are determined, results may be obtained which will aid the zonal classification and correlation of the Lower Carboniferous rocks of the two north-eastern counties.
