Abstract
Abstract:In 1960 P.T. Walsh discovered a small outlier of Upper Cretaceous chalk at Ballydeenlea to the north of Killarney, Co. Kerry. The background to the discovery is explained, and evidence is presented suggesting that M.F. O'Meara of the Geological Survey of Ireland may have visited the site in July 1942, eighteen years before Walsh drew the attention of the geological world to Ballydeenlea.
