The condition of the remains is interesting. Being found 

 in a soft, sandy deposit they were easily extracted, and a chisel 

 was not required. There has been little difficulty, therefore, in 

 freeing - the bones from the matrix, an operation which would 

 have been exceedingly difficult had they been found in the hard 

 rock. The bones as already stated are very ferruginous, and 

 some of them almost have the appearance of cast iron. It is 

 doubtless owing- to this fact that the specimens arc in such 

 a good state of preservation.

Section in the Kellaways Rock, near South Cave Railway Station. 



These relics of Cryptocleidus give that animal a much earlier 

 and longer period of sojourn upon this earth than previous 

 records from the Oxford Clay have warranted. 



Just below the remains the sand is much whiter and finer, 

 and more resembles the section of pure white sand near Sancton 

 Church, already described. 



We now have to deal with the Kellaways Rock. Certainly 

 the best exposure occurs in the railway embankments on each 

 side of the line east of South Cave station. Other sections 

 occur, one on the road-side a little north of that station ;
