(A number of the exposures are within the Unesco Black Country GeoPark). At each exposure we discussed the depositional environment and subsequent tectonic events, always referring back to the plate tectonics model. A number of depositional environments were seen as the area from temperate shoreface deposits, through warm shelfal carbonates, to tropical continental lacustrine and deltaic settings.
