A Pocket Guide To The London Clay GA Guide

Geology of the Dorset Coast (1993)
by Michael House

The guide aims to provide a general introduction to what may be seen and where in this coast of unsurpassed geological interest. Most emphasis is on the Jurassic rocks, rather less on Cretaceous and Tertiary which are seen as well or better elsewhere. An introductory section on Sedimentology and Palaeontology has been added by request to introduce terms to the general reader.

An informative guide to the geology of the Stoke – On – Trent Area, published by the Geologists Association. Includes small diagrams and maps.

27. Geology of South Shropshire (2002) by M.Allbutt, J.Moseley, C. Rayner & P. Toghill

This new guide has itineraries grounded in a well understood and documented stratigraphy that spans all periods from Pre-Cambrian through to Triassic and covers lithologies from volcanic tuffs and lavas through fossiliferous marine and fluviatile sediments to aeolian sandstones. The authors hope to share their thrill of finding that the older classic areas of Shropshire still have the capacity to inspire.

D-D Landings in Normandy, 1944 (2003)

The only British Guide to the geological controls on the D-Day landings in Normandy. The guide puts into context many of the reasons why the Normandy coast was selected for the invasion, reasons most people are, or were, unaware of. The four itineraries are based on examining the solid (mainly highly fossiliferous Jurassic strata) and superficial (such as Pleistocene loess) geology exposures associated with and adjacent to the main landing areas, Sword, Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah Beaches, including considering them in terms of water supply, aggregate sources, airfield sites and cross-country movements. A glossary is incorporated.

Hadrian’s Wall (1997)
Geology of Hadrian’s Wall by G.A.L.Johnson

The geology of Hadrian’s Wall falls naturally into three sectors: in the East the wall is over Upper Carboniferous Coal Measures and Millstone Grit; the Central Section is underlain by Lower Carboniferous intruded by the Great Whin Sill and in the Western sector the Wall crosses the New Red Sandstone. Glacial drift is widespread. All three sectors are described with specific sites in detail.
