(Daddyhole Limestone) - 2003

At Hopes Nose, the rocks are Middle Devonian of the Eifelian Stage. Approximately 380 to 391 million years ago. Indications suggest that at Hopes Nose, the marine life lived and died in shallow. quiet water. The Thinly bedded limestone's vary from calcareous mud's to fragmental limestone's. Fossils can be found both in the limestone's and the calcareous mud within sandy deposits and were abundant in colonies which is why groups of fossils can be found together.
