Geological magazine : Vol. 89 Iss. 1-6 Year. 1952Summary: Abstract
Growth and variation in a single species from a thin bed at one locality are examined statistically. The different dimensions are shown to be allometrically related both to each other and to the volume of the shell. It is argued that total width is the best measure of age of the individual and it is shown that at a certain width there is a break in the continuity of growth of the length and thickness.
