The Pliocene-Pleistocene Crags of East Anglia are an incredibly
rich source of fossil shells, many belonging to extant Boreal and
Mediterranean genera. Dominated by marine gastropods and bivalves,
the deposits also contain evidence of terrestrial and non-marine
gastropods and bivalves, brachiopods, and extensive epifauna
including bryozoans. Published between 1848 and 1879 in four
volumes, the latter two being supplements with further descriptions
and geological notes, this monograph by Searles Valentine Wood
(1798-1880) covers more than 650 species and varieties of fossil
mollusc. For each species Wood gives a synonymy, diagnosis (in
Latin), full description, dimensions, occurrence and remarks. The
supplements also provide a breakdown of the species and their
current distribution. The detailed plates were prepared by the
conchologist George Brettingham Sowerby and his namesake son.
Volume 1 (1848) covers gastropods and scaphopods, illustrated in 21
plates.
