On the Remains of Fossil Wood Enclosed in a Tertiary Lava on the Isle of Rum, Inner Hebrides

  • S. I. Tomkeieff (a1) and K. B. Blackburn (a1)
Extract

In August, 1938, while participating in the expedition to Rum organized by the Botanical Department of King's College, Newcastle-on-Tyne, under the leadership of Professor J. W. Heslop Harrison, I was fortunate enough to discover a fragment of fossil wood enclosed in a trachybasalt lava. This is the first discovery of a fossil of any kind on this island and one of the few discoveries of fossil wood in the British Tertiary lavas.
