In:
Geological magazine : Vol. 72 Iss. 1-12 Year. 1935Summary: Extract
Recently the author has been investigating the sequence of floras and faunas in the Warwickshire Coalfield. In the course of this work particular attention has been given to the flora of the barren Upper Coal Measures, which, according to Eastwood (1923, p. 42), includes the Keele Series and at least 1,700 feet of the Corley or Enville Series. Vernon, on the other hand, placed the latter in the Permian (1912, pp. 590, 603), and he noted that the Corley Series rests unconformably on the underlying Upper Carboniferous strata. Shotton, however, stated (1929, p. 169) that in this area he could see “no evidence for any Permian System (in the sense of System being separated from the Carboniferous by an unreprented time-interval)”.
