Extract

The remarkable specimen here described was collected in 1938 by Mr. W. S. Pitcher during an excursion of the Chelsea Polytechnic Geological Field Club to Yorkshire, and was presented by him to the British Museum in December of that year. The specimen was found in a stone in a dry-wall, but there is little room for doubt that it came originally from the immediate vicinity, for the matrix can be matched with part of the D1 limestones exposed there.
