IV.—The Clava “Shell-Bed”
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
From what has been said, it appears that the absence of all traces of the sea at a similar level, and at many approximate levels, all round the country, and the absence of relics of marine life, more or less abundant, in the Upper (or supposed post-submergence) Bouhler-clay, are insuperable difficulties against accepting the alleged submergence of 500 to 600 feet—that is to say, difficulties which have resisted all attempts to explain them away.
