Robin's Wood Hill Quarry, Geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, England
The quarry extends over 1.67 hectares and contains complete sections of Lower Jurassic and Middle Lias strata with fossil records.
Natural England designated Robin's Wood Hill Quarry as a protected scientific site in 1966 for its geological formations and research value.
Scientists and researchers examine the fifty-four species of fossil molluscs found within the quarry to understand early Jurassic environments.
Gloucester City Council manages the site while feral goats maintain vegetation levels, allowing clear access to geological features.
The contrast between silty Middle Lias and Marlstone Rock bed provides essential data for reconstructing historical environmental conditions.
