Extract

But while it is difficult to collect fossils in situ in the upper part of the Lower Lias, a very good knowledge of the fauna is obtained from the material which may be collected on the tunnel heaps between Old Dalbyand Saxelby. I have been permitted to study the large collection of specimens from these heaps which are preserved at University College, Nottingham, and the Engineer of the Midland Railway Company gave me leave to make small excavations. The following lists give some idea of the fauna, which contains abundant Ammonites, especially of the genera Tragophylloceras, Polymorphites, and Platypleuroceras. The Foraminifera likewise are unusually interesting; a list of genera identified by Wilson has already been given by Quilter; according to the list given by H. B. Woodward no Textularia-like form is known from the Lias of any other British locality.
