IV.—On a New Species or Discites (Discites Hibernicus) from the Lower Carboniferous Limestone of Ireland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
The specimen which forms the subject of the present communication was obtained by one of the writers from the Carboniferous Limestone, near Dublin. Although one side of the specimen is covered by matrix, yet the other side and the periphery are so splendidly preserved, and the shell has not been distorted during fossilisation, that the characters of the fossil can be accurately determined (see Woodcut, p. 254).
