Summary[edit]

Description

1852..
LYELL BELGIAN TERTIARY FORMATIONS.
327
and of those immediately subjacent is at a slight angle towards the
north-east.
Fig. 5. — Section in Caton's Pit, on the eastern slope of the Hill of
Cassel.
S. ^___-.N.
». Bed of clay, without fossils.
/. Sandy glauconite (1).
g. "Black band" with Ostrea inflata and Num. tmriolarius (2).
g'. Sands with Nipadites, Nautilus, Cerithium giganteum. Num. variolarius, &c. (3 to 6).
h. Green sand and sand-rock with Num. Icevigatus (7).
h'. Sands and sandstone with Ostrece, &c. (8 to 10).
i. Green naarls (11).
(2.) Next below is a dark bed, called by the workmen la hande
noire .g, figs. 4 and 5), 1^ foot thick. It is divided in some places
by thin layers of yellow sand, in which I found the following fossils :
Shells of the " Bande noire" Cassel (ff, figs. 4 & 5).
Numraulites variolarius, Lamh.
Cryptodon ?
Venus; small.
Cardita.
Nucula margaritacea, Lamk.
Pecten imbricatus ,■' Besh.
Pecten plebeius, Lamk.
Anomia laevigata, Sow.
Ostrea inflata, Besh.
Dentalium strangulatum, BesJi.
Natica.
Turritella.
The presence of Nummulites variolarius and Ostrea inflata indi-
cates the commencement of those Eocene strata which are called at
Brussels the " Laeken beds/' and to a higher division of which those
sands in the Cassel hills, which have been hitherto called " Tongrian,"
may perhaps belong.
(3.) Immediately below the hande noire are beds of yellowish
sand with green grains, 9 feet thick. "Within a foot of the top of
this mass is an irregular layer of sandstone, or a bed of nodules of
sand cemented by calcareous matter, in which many of the following
fossils occur in the state of casts, while the rest are free in the sand.
Nummulites variolarius, Lamk.\ very
abundant.
Turbinolia sulcata, Lamk.
T. Nystiana ? Haime.
Lunulites radiatus, Lamk.
Clavagella coronata, Besh.
Teredina.
Corbula pisum, Sow.
Tellina rostralis, Lamk.
Lucina (Loripes) divaricata, Lamk.
Venus; the same as one found at
Laeken.
Venus elegans ? Sow.

Cytherea suberycinoides, Besh.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
