Extract

Every geologist is familiar with the name of Storeton Quarry, which may fitly be termed the “home of the Cheirotherium”, celebrated as being the scene of the earliest discoveryinEngland of the fossil footprints, first described by Messrs. John Cunningham and James Yatesin1839.

Fifty years' study of these footprints has left their origin, so faras exact identification with any known animal is concerned, a matter of as much mystery as when Sir Eichard Owen gave attention to the subject in his classical work on “Palaeontology”.
