Download or read book Stratigraphy of the British Isles written by Dorothy Helen Rayner and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1981-06-04 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a reprint of the second edition of Dr Rayner's standard text on the stratigraphy and historical geology of the British Isles. The book is written for undergraduates and other readers who may have only a general acquaintance with the broad principles of geology. An introductory chapter reviews the basic principles of stratigraphy, geochronology and tectonics. The various geological systems found in the British Isles are then considered in turn. A valuable feature of the book is the extensive treatment of different regional areas within the discussion of a particular geological system. In the final chapter the author reviews briefly those major economic resources that are related to stratigraphy. Throughout the text care has been taken to introduce the plate tectonic interpretation of stratigraphic features. Much more is known about the neighbouring continental shelf and the geology of sea floors and this also is included in order to provide a comprehensive integrated account of the geological history of the British Isles.

Download or read book British Upper Carboniferous Stratigraphy written by C.J. Cleal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume summarizes the results of a survey of British Upper Carboniferous sites, undertaken between 1978 and 1990 as part of the Geological Conservation Review (GCR). The GCR was the first attempt to assess the scientific significance of all Britain's geological sites and has proved a landmark in the development of a coherent geological conservation strategy in this country. To ensure that the assessments were based on a firm logical and scientific foundation, the range of scientific interest was divided into ninety-seven discrete subject 'blocks', reflecting the natural divisions of stratigraphy, palaeogeography and geological process; Westphalian stratigraphy and Namurian stratigraphy were two of these blocks. The first stage in the survey was a review of the literature, to establish a compre hensive database of sites. From this, a provisional list of potentially significant sites was made and this was circulated to all relevant specialists in this country and abroad. At the same time, the sites were visited to assess their physical condition and whether the interest was still extant. In some cases, excavation (so-called 'site-cleaning') was carried out to see if the interest of a site could be resurrected or enhanced. The com ments made by the specialists and the field observations were then used to produce a second site list, which again was circulated for comment.

Book excerpt: William Smith is considered by many to be the Father of English Geology and is best rememberedfor his remarkable geological map of England and Wales, made in 1815.From an early date, Smith recognized that many of the strata which he showed on hismap were characterized by the fossils they contained. In 1816 he started a book called StrataIdentified by Organized Fossils which, although unfinished, was a fundamental work inestablishing the science of stratigraphy. In this book Smith figured fossils from each stratum.The fossil plates were exquisitely engraved by the renowned illustrator, naturalist and mineralogist,James Sowerby, from fossils provided by Smith.Although a brilliant geologist, Smith was an unlucky business man and because of hisprecarious financial position he was forced to sell his extensive fossil collection to the BritishMuseum. In William Smith's Fossils Reunited, the authors have included new photographs offossils from Smith's Collection, now housed at the Natural History Museum. These photographshave been arranged next to the original engravings, and in some cases, Smith's sketches.Smith's original texts for both Strata Identified and a later work Stratigraphical System ofOrganized Fossils, which catalogued the fossils, have been reprinted within the book. AsSmith roamed the English countryside collecting fossils he was careful to note the exactgeographical location of each fossil and also the rock layer from which it came. In this bookthese locations are shown on copies of Smith's own geological maps.With a Foreword by Sir David Attenborough, William Smith's Fossils Reunited is intendedboth for the William Smith enthusiast and also for those with a more general interest in thework of this remarkable pioneering geologist. The fossil illustrations and maps in this exquisitevolume are aesthetically pleasing in their own right and demonstrate the extraordinary skill ofearly nineteenth-century engravers and map makers.
