Dudley Limestone

Dudley Limestone, a highly fossiliferous Silurian limestone belonging to the Wenlock Series (q.v.), which forms some of the most picturesque eminences around the town of Dudley. The masses of corals, shells, and trilobites which abound in this rock, form, when weathered, extremely beautiful cabinet specimens.—Dudley Locust is the popular name for a trilobite (Calymene Blumenbachii), which is very abundant in the Dudley limestone.
