Historical plate showing fossils that characterize the “Cra(i)g” (fossiliferous sands of the Cenozoic) of England

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Historical plate showing fossils that characterize the “Cra(i)g” (apparently a sandy facies of ?upper Cenozoic deposits) of England. This plate comes from the fundamental biostratigraphical work of the pioneer of modern Geology William Smith. Note that the names of the fossil taxa may have changed since, mainly in a way, that the historical genus concepts subsequently changed over to family or even higher-ranked taxa.

Deutsch: Historische Bildtafel mit Abbildungen von Fossilien, die den „Cra(i)g“ (wörtl. „Fels“, dem Autor der Bildtafel zufolge eine lokale Bezeichnung für molluskenschalenreiche Sande; anscheinend eine sandige Fazies ?jung-känozoischer Ablagerungen) von England kennzeichnen. Diese Bildtafel entstammt der fundamentalen biostratigraphischen Arbeit des Pioniers der modernen Geologie William Smith. Man beachte, dass die Namen der Fossiltaxa sich seither wahrscheinlich geändert haben, hauptsächlich derart, dass historische Gattungskozepte später oft auf Familien oder noch höherrangige Taxa übergingen.
