Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Cretaceous Rocks of Britain, Vol. 3: The Upper Chalk of England The present volume deals principally with the stratigraphical and palæontological characteristics of the Upper Chalk. It forms the third and concluding volume of Mr. Jukes-Browne´s monographic work on the Upper Cretaceous Rocks of England. After giving a general account of the Upper Chalk, the author describes the stratigraphical features of this stage as it is developed in different portions of the country, and the several chapters of this part of the work have been made to coincide as nearly as possible with county divisions, for convenience of reference. On this as on previous occasions the Geological Survey has received great assistance from Mr. William Hill, whose detailed investigations on the microscopical structure and composition of the different zones of the Upper Chalk are published in the present volume. The concluding chapters deal with the physical features, economic products and hydrographic characteristics of the Chalk formation as a whole. A work of this kind is necessarily based to a great extent on the labours of previous observers, and a general bibliography relating to the Upper Cretaceous Rocks of England, therefore, finds a fitting place at the end of the present volume, which is the last of the series. In this preface it is unnecessary to refer to the earlier workers, who have laid the foundation of our knowledge of the Upper Chalk, but it is impossible to avoid all reference to the brilliant researches of Dr. Arthur Rowe, whose papers have been published during the preparation of this volume. The result of these researches, which have greatly extended our knowledge of the White Chalk of England, have been incorporated as far as possible in the present volume, but the original papers are so concise and so admirably illustrated that they must be consulted by all future workers on this formation. The preparation and revision of the General List of fossils found in the Chalk has occupied a great deal of time, and it is hoped that the information thus brought together as regards the zonal range and the geographical distribution of the fossils will be appreciated by students of the Cretaceous fauna. The fossils collected by the Survey have been named by Mr. E. T. Newton with the assistance of Mr. H. A. Allen and Dr. F. L. Kitchin, and Mr. Newton has revised the synonymy in the General List and in the other lists throughout the volume.
