The Chipping Norton Limestone is a geological formation in the Cotswolds, England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Bathonian ( Middle Jurassic). [1] [2] Including those of dinosaurs Cetiosaurus, Megalosaurus and Cruxicheiros as well as the Tritylodontid Stereognathus. It primarily consists of ooidal limestone.
Fossil content
The so-called " Scrotum humanum" remains may have come from this formation. [1]
