Description Notes

Wall chart showing line graph, which charts variation in tertiary floras in the outer European zone, by Newham, English, early to mid-20th Century.

Data for four locations (North America; Mid-European & Eurasiatic; East Asiatic; Subtropical) are plotted as lines or broken lines. These lines are labelled on the left. The y-axis is marked on the right, and runs from 0 to 70% of something.
The x-axis is labelled at the top and is divided into Miocene, Pliocene (early, middle and late) and Pleistocene (early). Vertical lines mark the divisions between these periods. More vertical lines are drawn in, and these are labelled at the top with place names (Sośnice, Pont de Gail, Frankfurt, Kroscienko, Reuverian, Castle Eden, Tegelen, Schwanheim, Cromer).
