Abstract
PHOSPHATIC deposits may be said to occur, in this country, on all horizons from the Bala limestone to the crag, yet do they most abound in the “strata below the chalk,” and particularly in those portions of the Cretaceous system which underlie the chalk of the south east Midlands. Thus Cambridge is almost as famous for its coprolites as Newcastle for its coals, and the economic inferiority of the Mesozoic rocks has of late years been partially redeemed, in consequence of the numerous workings in these valuable beds.
