* [[Great Lime Quarry]]: First excavated by geologists from the [[University of Stretton]] in the late 1920s. [[Jour & Leon]] led an expedition in 1931 which discovered that, during the Jurassic, the quarry was a mudhole where several enormous sauropods got stuck and apparently caused a feeding frenzy that lured and trapped many carnivorous dinosaurs. Most specimens of the ''[[Joanusaurus]]'' subspecies ''J. angleii'' are from this site, as well as the ''[[Ligmaceratops]]'' and the unique ''[[Strettonsaurus]]''.
