Pringle. (2004). Virtual geological outcrops - Fieldwork and analysis made less exhaustive?

For geologists studying outcrops in the field, there is an ever-increasing need for the acquisition of accurate and comprehensive data, whatever their purpose. Fortunately, this need is mirrored by an expanding range of digital data capturing technol... Read More about Virtual geological outcrops - Fieldwork and analysis made less exhaustive?.

The geology of the Precambrian rocks of La Hague, Manche, France (1974)
Thesis
Power, G. M. (1974). The geology of the Precambrian rocks of La Hague, Manche, France. (Thesis). Keele University

The Precambrian rocks of La Hague have been divided into three areas of older gneisses, an orthogneiss complex intrusive into these gneisses and a series of post-tectonic granitic rocks.
The gneisses of the Nez de Jobourg, Omonville and Greville are... Read More about The geology of the Precambrian rocks of La Hague, Manche, France.

The sedimentology and stratigraphy of red beds in the Westphalian A to C of central England
Thesis
Besly, B. (1983). The sedimentology and stratigraphy of red beds in the Westphalian A to C of central England

Red beds in the Westphalian A to C of Central England belong to the Etruria Formation. Examination of exposures and cores has allowed subdivision of this Formation into three Facies Associations.
Facies Association I forms the gradational base of t... Read More about The sedimentology and stratigraphy of red beds in the Westphalian A to C of central England.

The geology of the Lewisian rocks north of Loch Torridon, Ross-Shire, Scotland
Thesis
Cresswell, D. (1969). The geology of the Lewisian rocks north of Loch Torridon, Ross-Shire, Scotland

The Lewisian rocks of Loch Torridon consist of banded acid gneisses enclosing a number of basic and ultrabasic bodies and cut by a swarm of NW-SE trending basic dykes and by a later set of pegmatite dykes and a granite sheet.
No definite conclusion... Read More about The geology of the Lewisian rocks north of Loch Torridon, Ross-Shire, Scotland.

The solid geology of the area between Binic and Brehec, Cotes du Nord, France
Thesis
Ryan, P. D. (1973). The solid geology of the area between Binic and Brehec, Cotes du Nord, France

The area mapped is situated on the west side of the Baie de Saint Brieuc, Cates du Nord, France. It is bounded by the towns of Binic, Brehec, Lantic and Plehedel. Rocks of Pentevrian, Brioverian and post Brioverian age were recorded. The Pentevrian,... Read More about The solid geology of the area between Binic and Brehec, Cotes du Nord, France.

The petrogenesis of the St. Malo migmatite belt, North-Eastern Brittany, France
Thesis
Brown, M. (1974). The petrogenesis of the St. Malo migmatite belt, North-Eastern Brittany, France

The St. Malo migmatite belt is located along the north Brittany coast between the towns of N. D. du Guildo (Cotes-du-Nord) and Cancale (Ille-et-Vilaine). The belt, which has a north-east trend and structural grain, has been assigned to the Hercynian... Read More about The petrogenesis of the St. Malo migmatite belt, North-Eastern Brittany, France.

The sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Kinderscout grit group (Namurian, R1) between Wharefdale and Longdendale
Thesis
McCabe, P. J. (1975). The sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Kinderscout grit group (Namurian, R1) between Wharefdale and Longdendale

The thesis is the result of a sedimentological and stratigraphical survey of the Kinderscoutian (Ri)g Namurian, in the Central Pennine Basin between CThrufe dale and Longdendale. Twenty two facies are described and the relationships between them disc...

The 'Scourie dyke' suite of the north-west mainland Lewisian of Scotland, with particular reference to the structural geology and geochemistry
Thesis
Standley, R. (1975). The 'Scourie dyke' suite of the north-west mainland Lewisian of Scotland, with particular reference to the structural geology and geochemistry

The 'Scourie Dyke' Suite of the North-West mainland Lewisian of Scotland - with particular reference to the structural geology and geochemistry.
The 'Scourie Dykes' were intruded into Scourian gneisses about 1,900 million years ago and were subseque... Read More about The 'Scourie dyke' suite of the north-west mainland Lewisian of Scotland, with particular reference to the structural geology and geochemistry.

A stratigraphical palaeoecological and biometrical study of some English Bathonian Gastropoda (especially Nerineacea
Thesis
Barker, M. J. (1976). A stratigraphical palaeoecological and biometrical study of some English Bathonian Gastropoda (especially Nerineacea

The stratigraphy of the Bathonian White Limestone Formation (M. Jurassic: Subcontractus - Retrocostatum zones) has been re-examined and the Formation is divided into three Members instead of the previous two; the new Excavata Beds at the base, the Ar...

The sedimentology of carboniferous fluvial and deltaic sequences: the Roaches grit group of the South-west Pennines and the Pennant sandstone of the Rhondda valleys
Thesis
Jones, C. M. (1977). The sedimentology of carboniferous fluvial and deltaic sequences: the Roaches grit group of the South-west Pennines and the Pennant sandstone of the Rhondda valleys

This thesis describes two Carboniferous fluvio-deltaic sequences in which river channel fills are dominant, the Roaches Grit Group (Namurian R2b) in the south-west Pennines and Lower Pennant Measures (Westphalian C) in the Rhondda Valleys. In additio... Read More about The sedimentology of carboniferous fluvial and deltaic sequences: the Roaches grit group of the South-west Pennines and the Pennant sandstone of the Rhondda valleys.

Volcanic and sedimentary facies of part of the Borrowdale volcanic group, Cumbria
Thesis
Suthren, R. J. (1977). Volcanic and sedimentary facies of part of the Borrowdale volcanic group, Cumbria

Detailed studies of sequences of volcaniclastic rocks, lavas and intrusions have been undertaken in four areas in the Ordovician Borrowdale Volcanic Group in the English Lake District, which together comprise a vertical section some 4km thick. Fieldw... Read More about Volcanic and sedimentary facies of part of the Borrowdale volcanic group, Cumbria.

The palaeontology, sedimentology and stratigraphy of the upper Arnsbergian, Chokierian and alportian of the North Staffordshire basin
Thesis
Bolton, T. (1978). The palaeontology, sedimentology and stratigraphy of the upper Arnsbergian, Chokierian and alportian of the North Staffordshire basin

The boundaries of the Upper Arnsbergian, Chokierian and Alportian (late E2b1- H2c inclusive) are established in the North Staffordshire Basin. The faunal bands in the interval late E2b1 - H2c (inclusive) are recognised and the faunas present are iden...
