Shellingford Crossroads Quarry is a former quarry and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Stanford in the Vale in Oxfordshire. It is a Geological Conservation Review site.
This site exposes rocks of the Corallian Group, dating to the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic, around 160 million years ago. It has many fossils of corals and reef-dwelling bivalves, and is also important as it provides an example of the complexity of Oxfordian stratigraphy.
