This large outcrop of Carboniferous strata (P947815) is divided into four regions (P947821). All the early Carboniferous rocks are assigned to the Tyrone and Leitrim groups with the Omagh Sandstone Group restricted to the Kesh-Omagh area (P947927). Although the standard Tyrone Group succession extends across this area with few variations (P947933) many new members have been identified.
