First published in 1883, this study of the fossils of Upware and
Brickhill originally appeared in 1879 as the Sedgwick Prize Essay
for that year. Its author, Walter Keeping, was an expert in the
Neocomian faunas of Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire, and in this
comparative study he examines the close palaeontological
relationship between the Ironsand and Phosphatic series of fossils
found at Upware, Potton, Brickhill, and Farringdon. He goes on to
explore the resemblance of Upware oysters to Jurassic species, the
distribution of Brachiopod shells, and the difficulties that arise
when attempting to date fossils. Containing tables of vertebrate
and invertebrate examples from England and Europe as well as an
eight-plate section of detailed illustrations, this volume will be
of value to anyone interested in geological and palaeontological
studies from the nineteenth century.
