The Gelinden Flora, described by Saporta and Marion (Mém. de l'Acad. de Belge, t. 37; and Révision de la Flore Heersienne de Gélinden, ibid., t. 41), has assumed an immense importance owing to the fact that it alone, among Tertiary fossil floras whose age is definitely ascertained on stratigraphical and palæontological grounds, contains certain remarkable types of leaves which are common to it, to the inter-basaltic beds of GlenarminAntrim, and to Atanekerdluk in Greenland. Two of these are long lanceolate leaves, with three or more parallel mid-ribs.

(Extracted from “Explication de la feuille de Heers,” by Rutot and Van den Broeck (1884), p. 125.) Marne of exactly similar appearance is foundinmany Belgian Eocene beds, even up to the Bruxellien. It usually occurs in bands more or less divided by sands (often false-bedded).
