career Horseshoe, Derbyshire:

'm standing in what was then Ecuador, immersed in a shallow sea full of brachiopods and crinoids


limestone formed by more than 310 million years ago during the Carboniferous period. Where I am now that Ecuador was then immersed in a shallow sea full of brachiopods and crinoids minerals remains accumulated in the bottom of the ocean. Volcanic lava and gas vents thrown on the floor of the lagoon, bringing chlorite minerals and green-brown locally known as toadstone - and visibly present at Horseshoe. The origins of the name are clear: the rock is said to have spotted the color of a toad; German miners knew their sequence lead ended when they found toadstone or todtstein - rock dead. I prefer the version of Derbyshire dialect, you owd stone -. Stone, a name that seems appropriate for the careers of all, dissolution, like me, in the summer rain
