VI.—British Upper Tertiary Corals
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
Writers on Fossil Corals seem to ignore the existence of Corals in our later Tertiary formations. They are certainly not common. The following reference and species have come under my notice: Caryophyllia clavus, Scacchi var. boreal is, Flem., Lancashire drift (see Geologist, 1843, p. 124). Caryophyllia clavus var. Smithii, Stokes, Kaised beach, Portrush, Co. Antrim (Portlock, Geol. Londonderr, etc.). Sphenotrochus Wrightii, Gosse, from the Clyde beds, by Messrs. Crosskey and Robertson. to these I may add a fine calice of the Norway branching Coral Lophohelia prolifera, Ed. and H., from the interglacial sands of King Edward, N.B., and a single young example of Sphenotrochus Macandrewanus, E. and H., from the Raised sea-bed, Largo Bay, Fife.
