Garry Denke Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Stonehenge Whitestones and their Chronology with the Stonehenge Construction Materials of Wiltshire County, State of Great Britain, United Kingdom... The outcrop sedimentary rocks at Stonehenge are the Late Cretaceous, Santonian Age, calcium carbonates. The outcrop sedimentary rocks comprise the first construction material used by the Stonehenge builders. This material is approximately 85 million years old. These rocks are locally called the Seaford Chalk Formation (Stonehenge White Chalk). The oldest limestone sedimentary rocks at Stonehenge are the Mississippian Period (Early Carboniferous), Arundian Age, calcium carbonates. The Mississippian Period limestone sedimentary rocks comprise the first (1st) foreign construction material used by the Stonehenge builders. This material is approximately 340 million years old. These rocks are locally called the Birnbeck Limestone Formation (Stonehenge Whitestones). The volcanic rocks (oldest geologically) at Stonehenge are the Ordovician Period intrusive igneous diabases (dolerites), and extrusive igneous felsites (rhyolites) and tuffs (basic). The Ordovician Period igneous rocks comprise the second (2nd) foreign construction material used by the Stonehenge builders. This material is approximately 470 million years old. These rocks are locally called the Ordovician Volcanics (Stonehenge Bluestones). The oldest sandstone sedimentary rocks at Stonehenge are the Silurian and Devonian Period micaceous sandstones. The Silurian and Devonian Period sedimentary sandstone rocks comprise the third (3rd) foreign construction material used by the Stonehenge builders. This material is approximately 417 million years old. These rocks are locally called the Old Red Sandstone Formation (Stonehenge Coshestons). The youngest sandstone sedimentary rocks at Stonehenge are the Oligocene and Miocene Period silicates. The Oligocene and Miocene Period sandstone sedimentary rocks comprise the fourth (4th) foreign construction material used by the Stonehenge builders. This material is approximately 24 million years old. These rocks are locally called the Reading Formation (Stonehenge Sarsens). http://forums.researchersforum.gov.uk/showthread.php?postid=487#post487 http://www.discuss.ukfossils.info/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=13&TopicID=107&PagePosition=1 Chrono-Bibliography of the Stonehenge Whitestones (Early Carboniferous, Arundian Age, Birnbeck Limestone Formation) from Discovery to 1986... 1) Denke, G.W. 1975.

Glider Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 What do you mean 'State of Great Britain'? And what has this to do with biology? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Denke Posted August 13, 2003 Author Share Posted August 13, 2003 Hey, thanks NavajoEverclear, for a minute there... you had me glidering... Thanks Speaking of Glider, paleontology is a branch of biology, and I was reading the Declaration of Independence the other day... "State of Great Britain"...

atinymonkey Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Rebecca Hastings? I know that name *drums fingers on desk* Hrumph . Can't remember where from. Dammit. Either from Harrogate, or through Alex Moore. Archaeology person, I think. Probably different person though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Denke Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 You already did (above quote) and I thank you! Thanks! The pictured Counterscarp Bank, backfilled Heelstone Ditch and background ESE Mound are Stonehenge Whitestones. http://www.orionbeadling.net/CSCARPelev.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Denke Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 Originally posted by Intelligence What the hell is this......... Hi Intelligence "Stonehenge Whitestones" are the Early Carboniferous white stone hauled to Stonehenge from the South Wales Coast, et al. In color, they look like the Late Cretaceous white chalk which crops out naturally at Stonehenge, but the biology-paleontology (fossils) say different. Call for papers, to supplement the above, this is, and perhaps discussion (hopefully). Thank you. Garry Denke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any discussion in an announcement? First Questions: Any theories on why the Phase I builders hauled Stonehenge Whitestones to construct the Counterscarp Bank originally surrounding the Main Ditch and Main Bank? Any theories on why Stonehenge is the only henge with a reversed Main Ditch and Bank (Cretaceous Main Bank on the inside, Carboniferous Counterscarp Bank on the outside)? Any theories on why the Phase I builders dug 56 Aubrey Holes and dumped the removed chalk material on the Main Bank? Closer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
