Synopsis
Explore how 19th‑century geology ties fossils to rock history across England and France.
This edition surveys the geographical distribution of organic remains in the oolite series, comparing England, Paris Basin, and the South of France. It gathers expert views from multiple geologists to test commonly held ideas about rock ages and fossil evidence, while outlining the challenges of matching fossils to particular strata. The author also assembles reference lists and discusses how different regions and authors describe the oolite sequence, from lower to upper divisions.
- See how fossils help identify and compare rock groups across regions.
- Learn how the oolite sequence is broken into lower, middle, and upper parts, with region-specific notes.
- Understand how scholars from Conybeare, Phillips, Caumont, Boblaye, and Dufrenoy contribute to the map of formations.
- Get a snapshot of the kinds of fossils—ammonites, belemnites, corals, and more—used to describe oolitic beds.
