Ludlow Group
The Ludlow Group are rocks deposited during the Ludlow period of the Silurian in Great Britain. This group contains the following formations in descending order: ⁕Cilestones, Downton Castle sandstones, ⁕Ledbury shales 270 ft./83 m, ⁕Upper Ludlow rocks, ⁕Aymestry limestone, ⁕Lower Ludlow rocks. The Ludlow group is essentially shaly in character, except towards the top, where the beds become more sandy and pass gradually into the Old Red Sandstone. The Aymestry limestone, which is irregular in thickness, is sometimes absent, and where the underlying Wenlock limestones are absent the shales of the Ludlow group graduate, downwards into the Wenlock shales. The group is typically developed between Ludlow and Aymestry, and it occurs also in the detached Silurian areas between Dudley and the mouth of the Severn. The Lower Ludlow rocks are mainly grey, greenish and brown mudstones and sandy and calcareous shales. They contain an abundance of fossils. The series has been zoned by means of the Graptolites by E. M. R. Wood; the following in ascending order, are the zonal forms: ⁕Monograptus vulgaris, ⁕M. Nilssoni,
