This book was released on 2010-10-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coastline of Dorset is spectacular and beautiful. It exposes a long squence of Jurassic age sedimentary rocks which, with its wealth of invertebrate, vertebrate and plant fossils, has long attracted palaeontologists ? amateur, professional, interested holiday-maker, dedicated collector ? and its international importance has been recognised by the designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the pioneering work of early collectors like Mary Anning onwards, the area has been a cradle of palaeontology. The Lower Lias is particularly fossiliferous and this lavishly illustrated Guide covers all the fossil groups to be found by the collector in the field.

Download or read book Quantocks and North Somerset Coast written by Dave Green and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2022-05-23 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: West Somerset is an area of great geological diversity, straddling the Tees–Exe Line between highland and lowland Britain. The story of the last 400 million years of Earth history can be gleaned from its rocks: the opening and closing of oceans, the collision of continents and a journey across the Equator. The area may also provide the key to settle the controversy about the origin of South-West England, whose ancient geology is so different from the rest of the country. This unique and diverse geology is also the reason why it is one of the most beautiful and varied stretches of landscape in England. With nearly 170 illustrations, including maps, charts, diagrams and colour photographs, this book describes and explains the evidence for the geological history of the area, from the Palaeozoic, through the Mesozoic to the Pleistocene and Holocene. Regional guides, which discuss the factors that led to the landscape we see today and offer places of interest to visit, cover: the Northern Brendon Hills and Minehead; the Southern Brendon Hills; Wellington and the Blackdown Hills; Wiveliscombe and the Vale of Stogumber; the Quantock Hills; West Somerset coast and the Cannington and Bridgwater Lowlands.

Download or read book The Palaeontological Association Field Guide to Fossils Fossils of the Oxford Clay written by David M. Martill and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1993 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jurassic Oxford Clay, the major source of brick clay in the United Kingdom, contains a diverse and exceptionally well preserved fauna. Historically it has provided the basis for Brinkmann's now classic work on ammonite evolution, and furnished the Leeds brothers with the finest collection of marine reptiles ever assembled. Only now have descriptions of the entire fauna been available in a single volume. The introduction describes the geological setting and discusses aspects of the paleoecology. Ten chapters deal with all the major macroinvertebrate groups, some of the microinvertebrates, and the famous vertebrate fauna. Useful appendices provide the collector with a list of important fossil localities and the locations of museums with collections of comparative material. In addition, an up-to-date list of Oxford Clay taxa and a comprehensive bibliography of Oxford Clay palaeontology are provided. This book is a definitive guide to our current knowledge of Oxford Clay faunal diversity. It is an essential purchase for all those interested in Jurassic paleontology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of 'The Geology of England and Wales' is considerably expanded from its predecessor, reflecting the increase in our knowledge of the region, and particularly of the offshore areas. Forty specialists have contributed to 18 chapters, which cover a time range from 700 million years ago to 200 million years into the future. A new format places all the chapters in approximately temporal order. Both offshore and economic geology now form an integral part of appropriate chapters.

Download or read book Fossils of the Chalk written by Ellis Owen and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1987 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TheChalk, a charateristic white limestone deposited across much of northern Europe during the Upper Cretaceous, contains a remarkably diverse and well preserved fossil fauna. Previously, descriptions of this important fauna were scattered throughout numerous specialist monographs. Here for the first time this book provides a pocket-scized field guide to the identification of the almost complete range of macrofossils likely to be encountered in the Chalk of Britain. Following a brief introduction there are 11 chapters each dealing with a specific fossil group, ranging from sponges to dinosaurs, and written by individual specialists. Almost 400 species are illustrated photographically in 59 plates and each is accompanied by a brief diagnosis to aid identification together with notes on its stratigraphical range and distribution. Numerous other species comparable with those illustrated are also discussed in the text and their diagnostic differences noted. In addition each chapter provides a guide to the more important monographs and specialist publications where a fuller account of each group might be found.
