. The prevalence of this rock origi-nally gave origin to the name Oolitic for all that part of the systemabove the Lias. The oolitic structure affects not only much of thelimestone, but also lenses and beds of iron ore, in various parts of thecentral province. In England, parts of the Middle Jurassic containestuarine and fresh-water beds, and sometimes (as in Yorkshire) coalseams and beds of iron ore. Marine LTpper Jurassic beds overlie thenon-marine parts of the Middle Jurassic. In southern Europe, the Middle Jura has but little representation,or has not been thoroughly differentiated.

The formations of the Upper Jurassic in central Europe containmuch more limestone than those of the lower divisions of the systemin the same province. Corals and sponges were especially abundantin central Europe, and contributed much to the making of the light-colored limestone which, on the continent, has given this member 1 De Lapparent, Trait e de Geologie, p. 1142.
