## Abstract The overall lithological succession in the Millstone Grit of the southern Pennines was most probably controlled by glacial‐eustatic sea‐level oscillations and may be interpreted in terms of the systems tracts of sequence stratigraphy. Bands containing thick‐shelled goniatites represent
## Abstract The upper Millstone Grit strata (Yeadonian, Namurian) of North Wales have been studied using sedimentological facies analysis and sequence stratigraphy. These strata comprise two cyclothems, each containing prodelta shales (Holywell Shale) that pass gradationally upwards into delta‐fron
Sequence stratigraphy has produced a number of new concepts and terms which have been described and defined in the Wilgus et al. (1988) volume. Many of these concepts and terms can be applied to the two orders of allocycles present in the non-autocyclic parts of the Limestone Coal Group. The longer-
