Dogger
Dogger
1. An alternative name for the Middle Jurassic Epoch, which is dated at 178.0–157.1 Ma ( Harland et al., 1989). It is preceded by the Lias, followed by the Malm, and comprises the Aalenian, Bajocian, Bathonian, and Callovian Ages. Some authors do not recognize the Aalenian as a separate age, including it instead within an enlarged Bajocian Age. 2. The name of the corresponding European series, which is roughly contemporaneous with the uppermost Herangi and lower Kawhia (New Zealand). 3. A lithostratigraphic unit in the Aalenian of Yorkshire, England. |

dogger
dogger, originally a two-masted Dutch fishing vessel. In England, it was a development of the original ketch, square rigged on the main and carrying a lugsail on the mizzen, with two jibs on a long bowsprit. Short, wide beamed, and small, it was a fishing vessel which used trawls or long-lining on the Dogger Bank. The name dates from the early 17th century, but was virtually synonymous with ketch until the latter began to increase in size—over about 50 tons—in the mid-17th century.
See also fisheries. |
