| Citation | Geologist. An authority in a wide field of Mesozoic stratigraphy and palaeontology. His field observations and palaeontological discoveries have clarified depositional history and structural relationships of the English Lower Cretaceous, notably the Lower Greensand. His work on the ammonites has revised correlation in many parts of the globe, notably southeast U.S.A., and has fundamentally modified ideas on stratigraphy and palaeogeography at the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary in northern Europe. He has elucidated the hinge-structures of many heterodont bivalves and shown that these structures have practical use in subdividing the Purbeck-Wealden series. A list of 47 papers (1936-1965) is attached. |
