BONE BED

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 203 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BONE BED , a
term
  loosely used by geologists when speaking generally of any stratum or deposit which contains bones of whatever kind. It is also applied to those brecciated and stalagmitic deposits on the floor of caves, which frequently contain osseous remains. In a more restricted sense it is used to connote certain thin layers of bony fragments, which occur upon well-defined
geological
  horizons. One of the best-known of these is the Ludlow Bone Bed, which is found at the base of the Downton
Sandstone
  in the Upper Ludlow
series
 . At Ludlow itself, two such beds are actually known, separated by about 14 ft. of strata. Although quite thin, the Ludlow Bone Bed can be followed from that town into
Gloucestershire
  for a distance of 45 M. It is almost made up of fragments of spines, teeth and scales of ganoid fish. Another well-known bed, formerly known as the " Bristol " or " Lias " Bone Bed, exists in the form of several thin layers of micaceous
sandstone
 , with the remains of fish and saurians, which occur in the Rhaetic Black
Paper
  Shales that lie above the Keuper marls in the
south
 -west of England. It is noteworthy that a similar bone bed has been traced on the same
geological
  horizon in Brunswick, Hanover and Franconia. A bone bed has also been observed at the base of the Carboniferous limestone
series
  in certain parts of the
south
 -west of England.
BONE-LACE, a kind of lace made upon a cushion from linen
thread
 ; the pattern is marked out with pins, round which are
twisted
  the different threads, each wound on its own bobbin. The lace was so called from the fact that bobbins were formerly made of bone.
