| Summary | "On the Red Chalk of England" by Thomas Wiltshire is a geological study written in the mid-19th century, specifically in the late 1850s. This work is a scientific publication that discusses the characteristics, formation, and significance of the Red Chalk strata found in England. It aims to provide geologists with a detailed examination of this particular geological formation and its relation to other strata. In the paper, Wiltshire describes the Red Chalk's unique features and locations, particularly focusing on the sections found in Speeton and Hunstanton. He explains how these chalk formations interact with other nearby strata, such as the White Chalk and Speeton clay, and notes their fossil content, including belemnites and terebratulæ. Throughout the text, Wiltshire emphasizes the importance of careful observation and the collection of fossils for further study, promoting a practical approach to geological exploration while maintaining a scholarly tone. His observations contribute to the understanding of England's geological history and provide foundational knowledge for future researchers in the field.
