This has provided a fully-cored composite Ross section (490 m thick) that underpins a new understanding of bed-scale variability and the vertical evolution of the system . The work programme h as now been broadened to include the key Ballybunion section on the south side of the Shannon which sits obliquely down-dip (to the east) of Loop Head (c. 18 km away).enRoss FormationBallybunionCore samplesThe Clare Shale - Basal Ross Formation Contact, Western Ireland - New Insight from Behind-Outcrop CoresConference Publication2016-02-02https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/
