SUMMARY
New exposures in the Ferriby, Welton and Burnham formations of the Upper Cretaceous Chalk Group north of the Humber, north-east England, allow all but one of the gaps in the established lithostratigraphical sequence to be filled in. The lithological sequences logged here provide a firm framework for the first detailed account of the distribution of all major elements of the macrofauna. An informal subdivision of the Hagenowia rostrata Biozone is introduced.
