ANDOE ISLAND 507<br />

The sequence begins with about 60 m. of sandstones, often rather<br />

coarse, with seams of coal and also beds of bituminous shale and fireclay.<br />

On the evidence of the plants the age is Middle Jurassic. Above follow<br />

at least 325 m. of sandstone. A dark grey micaceous sandstone not more<br />

than 150 m. above the base of the series and 90 m. above the coal beds<br />

yields Amoeboceras alternans auct., Perisphinctes sp., Gryphaea dilatata<br />

and other pelecypods, and is therefore Oxfordian. Above are numerous<br />

species of Buchia and some Perisphinctids (Sokolov, 1912, pi. i), and at<br />

the top 125 m. of shales from which a Neocomian 'Crioceras' is recorded<br />

(Sokolov, 1912; Vogdt, 1905; Lundgren, 1894).<br />
