Bovey Formation
text:
The Bovey Formation is a deposit of sands, clays and lignite, probably over 1000 feet thick. It lies in a sedimentary basin termed the Bovey Basin which extends from Bovey Tracey to Newton Abbot in South Devon, England. The Bovey Basin lies along the line of the Sticklepath Fault and owes its existence to subsidence along this fault. A basin with similar deposits lies further northeast along the fault at Petrockstowe. The deposit is the result of the degradation of the neighbouring Dartmoor gran
