Extract

The Upper Trias of Leicestershire as a whole occupies the western half of the county, being bounded on the east more or less by the Soar Valley, following the strike (as a subsequent in part of its course up to its junction with the Wreake). In fact, it is on the eastern boundary near the outcrop that the beds are mainly best exposed, the region to the west south of the coal-field around which it mantles being little developed and presenting fewer exposures.
