Figure 2. Life size reconstruction of the “Cheshire Beast” and associated art works by Year 9 pupils of the GrangeSchool, Runcorn on display in the School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, University of Manchester.Cumbria, Cheshire, the Midlands, Somerset and southDevon, all of which are conserved, and await futureresearch. A large database of photographs of Jurassicichnofabrics (core samples) from North Sea oilfieldsalso exists in departmental Ph.D. theses (e.g., Taylor1991; Martin 1993; Blight 1998; Burns 1998).Visitors are welcome to access the collections. Thiscan be arranged by contacting the curator, MandyEdwards, at the address above.ReferencesANDERSON, L.I. 1996. Taphonomy and Taxonomy ofPalaeozoic Xiphosura.
