IV.—The Reported Occurrence of Ammonites Jurensis in the Northampton Sands
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
In the Geological Magazine (Dec. III. Vol. VIII. No. 329, p. 493, Nov. 1891), Mr. E. T. Newton has a “Note on the Occurrence of Am. jurensis in the Ironstone of the Northampton Sands in the Neighbourhood of Northampton.” This note had especial interest for me, from my having contested Mr. Beeby Thompson's view of the Jurensis-zone being represented by the clayey beds beneath the Sands; and, in fact, it seemed to support my argument. Further reading, however, obliged me to confess that I could not claim this support; for Mr. Newton says (p. 494), “that the specimens of Am. jurensis agree exactly with Dr. Wright's plate 79 (Lias Ammonites).”
