  • Notes on the Geology and Fossils of the Ludlow District
    NOTES ON THE GEOLOGY AND FOSSILS OF THE LUDLOW DISTRICT. By A. SMITH WOODWARD, LL.D., F.R.S., President. (A few ad,'ance coft'es issued /0 11ttlnbtr, in July, ' 901.) NDE R the presidency of a palreontologist it seems appro­ U priate that the Geologists ' Association should devote its Long Excursion this year to the study of fossils in the field. It becomes more and more evident, as researches progress, that the past history of life on the earth can only be satisfactorily deciphered when the exact stratigraphical position of each fossil has been determined by careful collecting. The variations of an organism in time and space, and its successive migrations, can only be ascertained by more detailed field-work and more precise labelling than has hitherto been customary among palreontolo­ gists. It is therefore necessary to follow the lead of Lapworth, Buckman, Rowe, Wheelton Hind, Miss Elles, Miss Wood, and others who are inaugurating a new era in the study of British fossils by a most exact and exhaustive method of collecting. The Association, indeed, cannot do better at the present time than attempt to arouse renewed interest in a classic district, which has been much neglected by geologists during recent years, and has scarcely been examined in any respect from the modern standpoint. The classic ground we have chosen to visit is the old country of the Silures, where Murchison originally worked out the details of his Silurian System. Much of it has never been visited by the Association before, and thirty-two years have now elapsed since Ludlow was the centre of one of our excursions.

The Golden Arrow © Gordon Dickens 1 Introduction Shropshire possesses one of the richest and most varied landscapes of any of the English counties. It offers a diverse range of scenery: from the lakes and rolling pasturelands around Ellesmere in the north, to the gaunt moorlands of the Clee Hills, with their stark industrial ruins, in the south; the densely wooded scarps of Wenlock Edge; or the straight, sandy lanes of the north-eastern heathlands, with their large arable fields and ‘big skys’.
