"In no part of England are more geological features brought together in a small compass than in the environs of Dudley"
-Sir Roderick Murchison, 1849.
Dudley, 420 million years ago, lay in the middle of a tropical sea.
Corals
Millions of corals and other sea creatures were born, had young themselves and died in the warm waters of this ocean that is now Dudley.
Reefs
The corals created giant reefs and the shells of the fish, as millions of years went by, turned into limestone.
