3. On a Clay Deposit with Fossil Arctic Shells, recently observed in the Basin of the Forth
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 September 2014
Extract
The author having stated the circumstances which led to his discovering this bed with its fossils near the harbour at Elie, referred to a drawing of the section, and explained the position and contents of the different strata.
Specimens of the shells were exhibited, as named by Dr Otto Torrell of Lund, who had supplied important information as to their distribution. They are all, without exception, now living in the Arctic Seas. A majority of them are exclusively Arctic.
