The Chalk, a characteristic white limestone deposited accross much of northern Europe during the Upper Cretaceous, contains a remarkably diverse and well preserved fossil fauna. Previously, descriptions of this important fauna were scattered throughout numerous specialist monographs. Here for the first time this book provides a pocket-sized field guide to the identification of the almost complete range of macrofossils likely to be encountered in the Chalk of Britain. Followig a brief introduction there are 11 chapters each dealing with a specific fossil group, ranging from sponges to dinosaurs, and written by individual specialists. Almost 400 species are illustrated photographically in 59 plates and each is accompanied by a brief diagnosis to aid identification together with notes on its stratigraphical range and distribution. London. 306 pp., 59 b/w plates, br. gr. 8.
