A “Woodocrinus” Fauna from the Scottish Border

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The majority of the crinoids recorded in this paper are from Penton Linns and a few from Harelawhill and Peterscrook in Liddesdale on the Scottish border. Peterscrook is really on the English side of the Liddel, which here forms the border line, but being quite a short distance from the other localities, it is thought advisable to include it here. The specimens in my own collection are the result of five visits at various times during recent years, the first of which, in the autumn of 1920, I was accompanied by my lamented friend, the late Mr. Robert Dunlop. My companion on the three following visits was Mr. James L. Begg, of Glasgow, and on the fifth visit Mr. J. G. Duncan, late of the Royal Scottish Museum and now of Kirkcaldy. To our combined efforts the following results are due. An account of these results may be of interest more especially since the crinoid fauna bears a remarkable resemblance to the “Woodocrinus” fauna discovered many years ago at Richmond in Yorkshire and first made known to geologists in the pages of the Geologist and later in the Geological Magazine.
