Lost & Found: 242. Molluscs and bioclastic limestones from the Wealden Group (Lower Cretaceous) of Dorset, southern England

Abstract

John Radley, Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery, Queen's Road, Bristol BS8 IRL, U.K. writes; The non-marine Wealden Group of the Dorset Coast is poorly fossiliferous. However earlier published accounts indicate the local presence of unionacean bivalves in the alluvial Wessex Formation, and bioclastic limestones ('coquinas') in the overlying Vectis Formation (e.g. Arkel 1947, Geology of the country around Weymouth, Swanage, Corfe and Lulworth. Memoir of the British Geological Survey). I would be interested to know of relevant material, in museum, university or private collections....
