[Nhcoll-l] Fossils of the Barton Cliffs

[Simon Moore]

David,

Just in case she doesn’t see this, Christine Taylor at Hampshire Cultural Trust, Winchester SO23 8RD part curates a large collection of palaeo. material from Barton, some collected by the late and lamented David Kemp.

christine.taylor at hampshireculturaltrust.org.uk will find her but like many museum employees, she is ‘thinly spread’ so don’t expect too much detail.

With all good wishes, Simon.

Barton not only gave its name to the Bartonian Stage but also Charles Lyell and many notable geologists have close connections with Barton. It seems that the fossils were of such fine preservation that they have found their way into many collections outside England.
