Abstract

The Hangman Sandstone group in N Devon contains two continental Old Red Sandstone formations: the Trentishoe formation, approx 1000 m thick, derived from the erosion of Lower Old Red Sandstone; and the overlying Rawns formation, with 120 m of coarse angular clasts, possibly derived from Lower Palaeozoic and Precambrian rocks.
