Studies on the Mollusca of the Red Crag (Pleistocene, East Anglia)
review of Red Crag literature places this study in context with work on Crag Geology. Results from recent work on the Icenian Crag differ markedly from those of earlier workers, and this study is an attempt to re-examine the Red Crag in the light of these recent results.
