Spare Time

Raymond Casey was an internationally recognized expert in two entirely different fields—geology and philately. He achieved this despite leaving school at 14. By then he was already collecting and studying fossils from his home town, Folkestone, and in 1939, despite not having a degree, he obtained a post with the Geological Survey of Great Britain in the modest role of assistant to C. J. Stubblefield. After war-time service in the RAF, he returned to the Survey in a similar role, but spent much of his ‘spare time’ researching and publishing on Lower Cretaceous palaeontology and stratigraphy. His fortunes began to change when, at the age of 38, he was admitted to Reading University to study for a doctorate. His thesis on Lower Greensand stratigraphy and palaeontology was recognized as an outstanding study that led to major publications including a nine-part monograph of the ammonite faunas. Then, in the late 1950s, he also began to study faunas from Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary beds in eastern England as part of his official work and this led to him visiting the Soviet Union on several occasions from 1963 onward. On the first visit he met the academician Nalivkin in Leningrad, who, as well as being an eminent geologist, was a keen philatelist. This led to Raymond taking an enthusiastic interest in pre-revolutionary Russian postal history, which resulted in numerous publications and awards and, after his retirement, became his main focus of interest.
