Framed Print of Coral Rag fossils
Coral Rag fossils, by James Sowerby (1757-1822) for William Smith (1769-1839). Depictions of characteristic fossils found in the Coral Rag and Pisolite stratum. Smith was the first person to recognise the importance of fossils in identifying strata of equivalent age, thus enabling rocks to be correlated across country. His work as a surveyor and engineer involved him travelling up and down the country during which he accumulated a large collection of characteristic fossils of the British strata. Smith sold his fossil collection to the British Museum and this publication is part catalogue/part explanation of his collection and theories, the illustrations (by the natural history illustrator James Sowerby) printed on coloured paper to correlate with the geological colouring on his 1815 map of England and Wales. Hand coloured engraving Date: 1816-1819. Mary Evans Picture Library makes available wonderful images created for people to enjoy over the centuries. © The Geological Society / Mary Evans
