No permanent exposure of the bed had ever been seen prior to an excavation carried out in 1979. The Steeple Ashton Coral Bed is present in only a small area south-east of Steeple Ashton village, having apparently been removed by erosion over much of the area, beneath overstepping sandy clay. The coral bed is Upper Oxfordian, belonging to the Stanford Formation of the Corallian Group.

Jurassic Information

The Jurassic Period (201–145 million years ago) was the golden age of dinosaurs, with iconic species like Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Allosaurus dominating the land. It was a time of warm, humid climates, with high sea levels that created vast shallow seas, supporting abundant marine reptiles, ammonites, and early coral reefs. The first birds, such as Archaeopteryx, evolved from small theropod dinosaurs, while early mammals remained small and nocturnal. Lush forests of cycads, conifers, and ferns covered the land, providing food for giant herbivores. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea accelerated, shaping Earth's geography and setting the stage for the diverse ecosystems of the Cretaceous.
