B. Reading SectionQuestions 9 and 10 refer to the text.

Exposure of rocks belonging to the Charnian Super group (late Precambrian) were examined in the area

around Beacon Hill, north Leicestershire. This report aims to provide details of the stratigraphy at three sites

- Copt Oak, Mount St. Bernard Abbey and Oaks in Charnwood. It was observed that at each of these sites, the

Charnian Super group consists mainly of volcaniclastic sediments (air-fall and ash-flow tuffs) interbedded

with mudstones and siltstones. These rocks show features that are characteristic of deposition in shallow

water on the flanks of a volcano (e.g. welding and alteration of ignimbrites). Further studies are required to

understand depositional mechanisms and to evaluate the present-day thickness of individual rock units.
