Extract

Up to the present marine fossils have been recorded in Middle Coal-measures in the South Lancashire Coal-field at two horizons only. They are (1) in the banks of the Tame, near Ashtonunder-Lyne, found by Professor A. H. Green, and at Ashton Moss Colliery, about 750 feet above the Great Mine, discovered by the late George Wild. (2) Mr. H. Bolton, F.R.S.E., informs me that the Californian or Thin Bed of Fulledge Colliery, Burnley, which is 410 feet above the Arley Mine, is a marine horizon.
