Carboniferous

The upper section between Malham and Skipton is largely upfaulted Carboniferous limestone.

The islands are made up of Carboniferous limestone and do not have naturally occurring topsoil.

from intrusions of Ramberg granite, which rose to the surface and solidified 300 million years ago in the Upper Carboniferous Period, and their associated veins of quartz, the ravine of the Bode also cuts through hornfels and knotenschiefer (a type of slate), as well as argillite and

Clifton Down Limestone, which includes calcite and dolomitic mudstones of the Carboniferous period, is found in the adjoining central band and dolomitic conglomerate of the Triassic period.

The Dent Fault cuts across the valley close to the village of Gawthrop, marking a geological boundary between the Carboniferous Limestone of Deepdale and the Craven Dales to the south and the older Silurian and Ordovician rocks of the Howgill Fells to the north.

The quarry is known for terrestrial and freshwater animal fossils; the most fossil-rich layer is dated to around 341 ± 3 million years ago, during the Viséan stage of the Mississippian subperiod (Early Carboniferous Period).

The gorge was cut mostly into the Clifton Down Limestone, part of the Lower Carboniferous Pembroke Group, by water.

The second main phase of movement was during the Carboniferous, this time with a dextral sense.

The formations consist of red-brown sedimentary conglomerate, sandstone, and minor mudstone rock from the Carboniferous Hopewell Cape Formation, part of the Mabou Group.

These rocks are part of a kilometers-thick stack of thrust sheets, known as nappes, consisting of fault-bound sheets of metamorphosed Devonian to Carboniferous sedimentary strata.

Exceptional preservation of Late Carboniferous fossil biota characterizes a Lagerstätte at Montceau-les-Mines.

The Pennine Coal Measures Group is a lithostratigraphical term referring to the coal-bearing succession of rock strata which occur in the United Kingdom within the Westphalian Stage of the Carboniferous Period.

Primarily composed of quartz monzonite, the dome of Stone Mountain was formed during the formation of the Blue Ridge Mountains around 300-350 million years ago (during the Carboniferous period), part of the Appalachian Mountains.

The collision lasted nearly 90 million years in the late Carboniferous, early Triassic.

A Waulsortian mudmound is a calcareous geographical feature found in Early Carboniferous strata of Central Europe.

The dale lends its name to the Yoredale Group of Carboniferous rocks.

The steepest parts of the Wye gorge are cut through the Carboniferous Limestone.
