IV.—The Minerals of the Barrington Bone-bed

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

One of the most important and most interesting features of the geology of the Cambridge district is the deposit at Barrington, so widely known for its richness in mammalian remains. This bone-bed has been described many times, and the literature is large. Most of the descriptions, however, confine themselves chiefly to the organic contents, mentioning briefly the character of the larger stones and pebbles, and saying little or nothing about the nature of the finer matrix in which these are embedded.
