The
Geology of Marden Quarry
 Marden Quarry is the remains of a worked out Limestone
Quarry. The quarried rock was Magnesian Limestone, a relatively rare mineral
which was formerly exposed at the surface. Parts of the out crop can still
be seen along with rocks formed during other geological periods. To get
a complete view of the geology of the quarry however it is necessary to
look along the coast where the layers of rock have been exposed by the sea. |
