Geological magazine : Vol 97 Iss. 1-6 Year. 1960Summary: Abstract
A new fossiliferous section in the Coralline Crag of Suffolk is described, and its fauna is analysed as a clue to the conditions under which these beds were formed; in particular, the theory that the temperature of the Crag sea was affected by the alternate breaching and closing of land-bridges to the north and south of the North Sea area is considered unnecessary to account for the facts as seen in the field. Further, the Coralline Crag is correlated with the Astian formation of the Mediterranean, and reasons are brought forward to show that the supposed “Boytonian” Zone of the Coralline Crag does in fact not exist.
