The Upper and Lower Junctions of the Midford Sands at Limpley Stoke, S.E. of Bath

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Before describing the section at Limpley Stoke I wish to acknowledge the very kind help given to me by Dr. W. D. Lang, F.R.S., Keeper of the Department of Geology in the British Museum (Natural History), who has had the fossils examined and through whose encouragement I am recording the results of an investigation extending over a considerable time.

In the gravel at a depth of 3 ft. 6 in. were found the radius and ulna of an ox, Bos sp., also a large cervical vertebra which probably represents Bos primigenius. These were kindly identified for me by Miss D. M. A. Bate, at the British Museum (Natural History).
