Dec 15, 2014 (A Wilson) - Limestone and shale from the Verulam Fm are quarried for aggregate. The Verulam Formation underlies most of the northern half of the map area and all of the extreme eastern portion. It consists of medium brown and grey, finely crystalline, uniformly bedded with subequal thicknesses of pale to medium brown and grey bioclastic limestone, and grey and brown shale. The entire formation weathers pale grey and brown, and occurs in beds 3 to 15 cm in thickness. Common fossils include brachiopods and bryozoans. The thickness of the formation has been estimated to be in excess of 90 m.
