Photographic images, sample data and Hettangian-Sinemurian chronostratigraphy of Ammonoidea and other macrofossil specimens from the Prees 2C borehole, Shropshire

Sample codes and depths alongside taxon determinations and assignments to chronostratigraphic units for Ammonoidea and other macrofossil specimens of the Hettangian to Sinemurian sections, of the Prees 2C borehole (SOBI [Single Onshore Borehole Index] number = SJ53SE/53). Photographic images of the specimens, contained in ten albums organised according to stratigraphic position, are also included. This compilation is for specimens obtained during initial core processing operations that took place at the British Geological Survey Keyworth Core Store in 2020 and 2021. Depths in the data table given are in metres below corrected core depth to the top of the sample bearing the fossil. Typical sample thickness is < or = 2 cm. This data file accompanies Page, K. N., Oates, M. J. Simms, M. J., Edmunds, M. and Hounslow, M.W. (2026) Chapter 2; Hettangian-Sinemurian Correlation Chart. In: Cope J. W. C. and Wakefield, M. I. (Eds).

Statement

Samples were collected from the working halves of the Prees 2C core, and each sample assigned an SSK (Subsample Keyworth) number. Initial drillers depths were converted to mccd (metres corrected core depths) according to the table in Hesselbo et al. (2023) Initial results of coring at Prees, Cheshire Basin, UK (ICDP JET project): towards an integrated stratigraphy, timescale, and Earth system understanding for the Early Jurassic. Scientific Drilling 32, p. 1–25, https://doi.org/10.5194/sd-32-1-2023. Taxa were identified and assigned a chronostratigraphic position by Kevin N. Page.
