29 de mar. de 2023 · It consists of approximately 1700 beautifully preserved Wenlock Limestone fossils from the Dudley area particularly trilobites and crinoids. The trustees of Mason College of Science purchased the collection in 1880 for £250, and it was this purchase that led to the formation of the Mason College geology museum, now known as the Lapworth Museum.
1 de may. de 2009 · Extract. In the year 1888 I published a short paper in the pages of the Geological Magazine and in “Nature,” in which I gave a brief account of the discovery of the fauna of the Olenellus(or Lower Cambrian) zone in the Comley or Hollybush Sandstone of Shropshire. Since that date great advances have been made in our knowledge of the ...
21 Nov 2014. The Dob’s Linn area is where Charles Lapworth carried out his pioneering studies in the 1870s, in which he established the usefulness of graptolites for correlating different strata within the Ordovician and Silurian periods. It is also the location of the Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) for the Ordovician ...

Abstract Lapworth’s paper on ‘The Moffat Series’ (1878) provided a model for deciphering the ‘interminable greywackes’ of the Southern Uplands, and one which lasted for a century. The same paper established graptolites in a dominant position in Lower Palaeozoic biostratigraphy. The changes in the biostratigraphic paradigm are discussed with reference to Lapworth’s contribution ...
Charles Lapworth’s archive is one of most important features of the Lapworth Museum and is regarded as one of the most complete archives of any Victorian or Edwardian UK geologist. It covers 60 years of his geological work from the 1860s up to his death in 1920, and comprises around 3,500 letters, approximately a thousand field and manuscript ...
Charles Lapworth. The Lapworth Medal is named for Professor Charles Lapworth FRS (1842-1920). During his professional years, he carried out ground-breaking research in many parts of Britain and saw his pioneering methods on Ordovician biostratigraphy using index fossils adopted worldwide. Prof. Lapworth became the leading international expert ...
