Shellingford Crossroads Quarry

Shellingford Crossroads Quarry is a 2.6-hectare (6.4-acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Stanford in the Vale in Oxfordshire.

[1][2] It is a Geological Conservation Review site.

[3] This site exposes rocks of the Corallian Group, dating to the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic, around 160 million years ago.

It has many fossils of corals and reef-dwelling bivalves, and is also important as it provides an example of the complexity of Oxfordian stratigraphy.
