V. Description of a New Fossil Fish from the Lower Chalk

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The British Museum has lately received a fossil Fish from the lower Chalk at Folkestone, which appears to be undescribed, and is probably the type of a distinct genus. The fossil is twenty inches long, with the vertebral column and the fins tolerably well preserved, whilst the head unfortunately has suffered so much that scarcely any part of it can be distinguished.
