According to Doug Harwood, "A significantly smaller proportion of the Wolstonian sequence is now regarded as lacustrine or deltaic in origin." Shotton found it impossible to agree with this alternative view and in 1983 fought a "spirited rear guard action" in defence of his original interpretation.

England, and postulated that they had ponded up a lake in Leicestershire. Harrison named it Lake Bosworth, since
