Of the three Triassic and Jurassic fossiliferous formations, no angular fragments were found from the shell beds. |
Conditions requisite for the original completeness of a fossiliferous series. |
The fossiliferous horizons occur in greenish to greyish siltstones and brown to black fissile shales associated with mollusc shells. |
Strata were examined in the field for evidence of fossil content, and those horizons that appeared to be fossiliferous were sampled in bulk. |
Bed 4 comprised medium grey fossiliferous mudstone with limonitic ooids and phosphatic nodules. |
In this great class we should probably have to descend far beneath the lowest known fossiliferous stratum to discover the earlier stages, by which the eye has been perfected. |
