Keuper marl

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

English Midlands and neighbouring areas e.g. Cheshire,[1] Nottinghamshire,[1] Devon, eastern Worcestershire and northern Yorkshire.[citation needed
]

Typically red, or occasionally green or grey, these strata are generally featureless and contain few fossils. In basin formations, thick halite-bearing layers, or rock salt deposits, are sometimes present at the base of the marl.

In modern nomenclature, Keuper marl is included within the Mercia Mudstone Group.[1][2]
