Abstract/NotesAbstractAcritarchs of Lower Cambrian age have been recovered from a clay horizon within conglomerates 6 m above the unconformity described by Cope & Gibbons (1987). The Wrekin Quartzite (34 m thick) represents beach deposits grading upwards into shelf sandstones. The stratigraphie evidence and recent age determinations suggest that although the granophyre was intruded at 560 ± 1 Ma the Cambrian Unconformity is younger than 533 ± 13 Ma.
