fossiliferous

Somebody has styled fossiliferous rocks 'monuments of the felicity of past ages.'

Now, the fossiliferous strata of our globe afford similar proofs of varying climatic and physical conditions.

The Upper Devonian is less fossiliferous, but contains some large trilobites, various marine shells, and some land-plants.

This survey has developed the older fossiliferous rocks, with a fullness and distinctness unknown elsewhere.

Above is the hard fossiliferous limestone, which is a base-bed in Western Palestine.
