Clints Quarry NNR
The quarry is a scheduled Site of Special Scientific Interest and is of considerable botanical importance as well as geological. The fallen blocks of stone that may be seen contain a variety of fossils – Brachiopods and corals. Clints was mentioned in a 1909 prospectus for the Workington Iron & Steel Company. The limestone which was easily quarried, was used in blast furnaces to make steel in the heyday of the Acid Bessemer process between 1850 and 1890. It was transported from the quarry by rail from a siding off the L & N.W. Junction Railway.

Clints Quarry - Limestones
Large limestone quarry exploiting large beds of clean limestone for iron making and lime production. The limestones are Dinantian in age (Early Carboniferous, around 350 million years old) and belong to the Chief Limestone Group. This whole quarry mined the fourth limestone which is split into a variety of other smaller limestones. At the time of formation Britain was around the equator, the limestones formed on a proximal inner carbonate ramp on the shores of the Lake District Island! In the quarry algal mats, corals (rugose), braciopods and other sea creatures are present. Sea level changes often meant the limestones were eroded and caves formed (think Zanzibar for an analogue). Another feature described in this quarry are the bentonite bands (clays) which are the remains of volcanic ash fall outs.

I think (i'm not a carbonate geologist I must stress!) these are the remains of algal mats.

Clints Quarry - Iron Staining
A small fault has a light coating of hematite. The iron ore mines of the area exploited faults like these.
