Oxford Clay is a Jurassic marine sedimentary rock underlying much of southeast England, from as far west as Dorset and as far north as Yorkshire. The Oxford Clay is argillaceous and is of Callovian to lower Oxfordian age. Oxford Clay appears at the surface around Oxford, Peterborough and Weymouth and is exposed in many quarries around these areas. The top of the Lower Oxford Clay shows a lithological change, where fissile shale changes to grey mudstone.

- Oxford Clay is a Jurassic marine sedimentary rock underlying much of southeast England, from as far west as Dorset and as far north as Yorkshire. The Oxford Clay is argillaceous and is of Callovian to lower Oxfordian age. Oxford Clay appears at the surface around Oxford, Peterborough and Weymouth and is exposed in many quarries around these areas. The top of the Lower Oxford Clay shows a lithological change, where fissile shale changes to grey mudstone. The Middle and Upper Oxford Clays differ slightly, as they are separated by an argillaceous limestone in the South Midlands. The Callovo-Oxfordian Clay also occurs in the Paris basin and it is a potential host formation to dispose high-level radioactive waste in France.
