Extract

Recent work on the succession and structure of the Skipton Anticline1 has proved strata about 6,000 feet thick. These beds are of Dinantian age ranging from γ to P2 and are in great contrast to the strata of the Askrigg massif, 8 miles to the north, where the Dinantian is of S1 to P2 age and is only 800 feet thick.
