Description

114 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY.
collected as many of its fossils as circumstances permitted. These
amount to twenty-five species of shells and some fragments of car-
bonized wood ; but, with the exception of two Ammonites (A. Kce-
nigi and A, sublcBvis), they are either enumerated in the lists published
by Sir R. I. Murchison*, are undescribed species, or are too imper-
fect for satisfactory determination.
Eighteen of the shells are also found in different members of the
Jurassic (oolitic) series of England, and of these the following occur
in the unusually developed Kelloway Rock of Yorkshiref : —
Ammonites Gowerianus, Sow. Pecten lens, Sow.
Koenigi, Sow. Modiola cuneata, Sow.
subhevis, Sow. Trigonia clavellata, Sow.
Ostrea archetypa, Phil. Goniomya literata, Sow.
The Ammonites Kcenigi and A. sublcBvis are also associated in the
equivalent strata at Kelloways Bridge, Wilts., and, as well as the A.
Gowerianus^ in the contiguous Oxford clay of Chippenham. These
facts afford additional proof that the position long ago assigned to
the bed in question by Sir R. Murchison, who regarded it as the re-
presentative of the " pier stone" of Scarborough, is the correct one J.
Fie^. 1.
This marine deposit (Section fig. 1) is succeeded, in the descending
order, by the following strata : —
a. Coal (main seam), 3 feet.
h. Dark grey shale with seams of coal, 20 ft. 6 inches.
c. Seven or eight seams of black, bituminous shale, full of shells,
&c., and alternating with unfossiliferous partings of the same rock.
The fossils comprise detached scales o^ Lepidotus pusillus (sp. nov.)
and Pholidophorus cognatus (sp. nov.), Paludina conulus (sp. nov.),
Cyclas angulata, Sow., C. subglobosa (sp. nov.), C. rhomboidalis
(sp. nov.), C. solidula (sp. nov.), C. unioniformis (sp. nov.), and
Cypris granulosa^ Sow. There are also portions of an obscure plant,
and small fragments of carbonized wood. The thickness of the whole
is 5\ inches.
d. Shale like b, but without coal, 3 ft. 1 inch§.
e. Black, grey and green clays, including a layer of whitish argil-
laceous limestone. The fossils, which, although broken and disunited,
constitute at least one half of the mass, are Semionotus punctatus
(sp. nov.), S. minor (sp. nov.), Lepidotus pusillus (sp. nov.), Pho-
lidophorus cognatus (sp. nov.), Paludina conulus (sp. nov.), Perna
erecta (sp. nov.), P. obliquata (sp. nov.), Tellina muriatica (sp. nov.)

thicknesses were calculated from the usual data.

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.
