The Magnesian Limestone is a suite of rocks in north east England dating from the Permian period. The outcrop stretches from Nottingham northwards through Yorkshire and into County Durham where it is exposed along the coast between Hartlepool and South Shields . ref British Geological Survey 1 625,000 scale geological maps North and South sheets 3rd edition 1979 ref The term has now been discontinued in formal use though it appears widely in popular and scientific literature on the geology of northern England. The Magnesian Limestone is now incorporated within the Zechstein Group . In the southern part of its outcrop, the former Lower Magnesian Limestone is now referred to as the Cadeby Formation . Overlying this it is the Edlington Formation formerly the Middle Permian Marl and above this the Brotherton Formation formerly the Upper Magnesian Limestone . In the north, the Lower Magnesian Limestone is now referred to as the Raisby Formation and the Middle Magnesian Limestone as the Ford Formation. The Upper Magnesian Limestone is replaced by the Roker Formation in its lower part and the Seaham Formation in its upper part with the Edlington formation between them, though in the Durham area this last is replaced by the Fordham Evaporite Formation and the Seaham Residue. Much of the Magnesian Limestone is dolomite , i.e. calcium magnesium carbonate, and has been for many years the main source of dolomite rock in Britain. It is used in connection with the production of refractory bricks but also for aggregate for road building and other construction purposes. It is also used in the production of agricultural lime. ref Aitkenhead, N. et al 2002.

Unreferenced date September 2009 Corallian Limestone is a coralliferous sedimentary rock, laid down in Jurassic times. It is a hard variety of coral rag . Building stones from this geological structure tend to be irregular in shape. It is often found close to seams of Portland Limestone e.g. Abbotsbury in Dorset , England . It is a younger limestone than its near neighbour, the Oolite Oolitic , as found in the Cotswolds , in Gloucestershire . A ridge of Corallian Limestone rises above the Vale of Avon and the Thames Valley in its Oxfordshire stretch. The Oxfordshire Corallian ridge is an escarpment holding back the hanging valley that is the Vale of White Horse and its hardness forced the River Thames to take a wide northern detour, to cut through the low ridge at Oxford . High points along the ridge are Cumnor Hurst and Wytham Hill . The outcrop known as Headington stone was quarried at Headington Quarry on the outskirts of Oxford and used for many of the historic University of Oxford University buildings there. Hilly outcrops above this corallian ridge, composed of Lower Greensand , occur at Badbury Hill , Faringdon Folly Hill and Boars Hill . Softer sandy deposits occur within the Corallian, found for example at Faringdon, Shellingford and Hatford in Oxfordshire , where the sands and gravels are extensively quarried. In England, Corallian Limestone is to be found in Dorset, Wiltshire , Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire , Cambridgeshire , Lincolnshire and Yorkshire . The most noted scholar of the Corallian strata of England was the geologist William Joscelyn Arkell W.J. Arkell 1904 1958 .
