Abstract
The lithological and faunal successions of some 1,150 feet of Carboniferous beds exposed on Foynes Island, County Limerick, are described and shown to be of Namurian Age. The stratigraphical position of Reticuloceras subreticulatum (Foord) and Homoceratoides divaricatus (Hind) has been ascertained by collecting from the type localities on the island. The palaeogeographical implications of the succession are discussed.Keywords
