Dominated by marine gastropods and bivalves, the deposits also contain evidence of terrestrial and non-marine gastropods and bivalves, brachiopods, and extensive epifauna including bryozoans. Published between 1848 and 1879 in four volumes, the latter two being supplements with further descriptions and geological notes, this monograph by Searles Valentine Wood (1798–1880) covers more than 650 species and varieties of fossil mollusc. For each species Wood gives a synonymy, diagnosis (in Latin), full description, dimensions, occurrence and remarks. The supplements also provide a breakdown of the species and their current distribution. The detailed plates were prepared by the conchologist George Brettingham Sowerby and his namesake son. Volume 3 (1872–4) comprises the first supplement, covering univalves and bivalves, and includes an important map of the Crag district.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Cephalopoda\u003cbr\u003e Gasteropoda\u003cbr\u003e Pteropoda\u003cbr\u003e Bivalvia\u003cbr\u003e Brachiopoda\u003cbr\u003e Addendum\u003cbr\u003e Concluding remarks\u003cbr\u003e Synoptical list\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e Plates.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Palaeontology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Palaeontology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Palaeontology%20%5BRBX%5D%22\"\u003eRBX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46001067524376,"sku":"9781108076906","price":24.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108076906i_0438c6c7-e757-4564-81b3-3974f7baa87b.jpg?v=1696751613","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-monograph-of-the-crag-mollusca-with-descriptions-of-shells-from-the-upper-tertiaries-of-the-east-of-england-paperback-9781108076906","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
