Geologists examined a Wenlock shale layer rich in fossils that reveal Silurian marine life.

Wenlock fossils in the shale layer helped geologists narrow down the age of the formation.

Much Wenlock played a key role in inspiring the modern Olympic Games and still celebrates that legacy each year.

Paleontologists discovered a rich assemblage of brachiopods in the Wenlockian limestones along the coastal cliffs.
