1877 H. Hicks in Q. Jrnl. Geol. Soc. 23 230 I propose now to divide the Pre-Cambrian rocks [in the vicinity of St David's] into two distinct series under the local names of Dimetian..for the lower, and Pebidian (Pebidiauc being the name of the division or hundred in which the rocks are chiefly exposed) for the upper series.

1891 Amer. Naturalist 25 571 He thinks..that some quartzites, porcellanites, and schists occupy an intermediate position in point of age between these granitoid rocks and the Pebidian series.

1937 J. Pringle & T. N. George S. Wales ii. 15 In the neighbourhood of St. David's, the Pebidian tuffs occupy a broad anticlinal area which extends inland for several miles in an east-north-east direction.

1995 Geol. Mag. 132 340/1 The Pebidian Supergroup, which crops out chiefly in North Pembrokeshire, comprises basic, intermediate, and silicic..rocks.

B. n.

The Pebidian sequence.

1880 Q. Jrnl. Geol. Soc. 36 538 I have long been disposed to consider the felspathic series in Shropshire, or at least the Lilleshall group, as representing the Pebidian.

1883 Science 15 June 541/1 The Pebidian consists of a series of volcanic tufas and breccias, with interstratified and intrusive lavas.

1969 G. M. Bennison & A. E. Wright Geol. Hist. Brit. Isles iv. 80 The Caerfai Series commences with a reddish basal conglomerate, some of the pebbles being derived from the adjacent Precambrian volcanics, the Pebidian.
