Geology Of The Lake District (1990) GA Guide

Geology of the Manchester Area (1991)
by R.M.C.Eagar & F.M.Broadhurst

The rocks exposed in the Manchester area range in age from Dinantian (Lower Carboniferous) to Triassic and superficial coverings of Pleistocene and Recent sediments. Of the sixteen itineraries described, two are devoted to Dinantian, five to the Silurian, four to the Triassic and three to the Pleistocene and Recent. The last two intineraries are concerned with mineralisation and mining and with the building stones of Manchester

This popular guide will explain the geology of a major university town, Liverpool. A highly informative guide to a popular area.

Early Cretaceous Environments of the Weald (1996)
by Alastair Ruffell, Andrew Ross & Kevin Taylor

In order for the Guide not to become out-of-date it concentrates on exposures that are likely to remain in their present state for some time, thus some abandoned sites are omitted. The interested geologist will find the locations easily, observe the main features with no trouble, and be able to do this for some years to come.

During the last 16 million years (up to recent times) igneous rocks with a variety of compositions have been extruded and then moved E or W of the rift valley which marks the central line of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge The ice sheets and their associated glaciers formed by the accumulation of snow over hundreds of years, occupy 11% of Iceland. The pressure on water trapped in geothermally heated cavities close to the land surface is occasionally relieved generating Geysers. The itineraries in the Guide provide a representative selection of sites of the above.

Dalradian of Scotland
Jack Treagus (2009)

The Dalradian Supergroup of mainland Scotland occupies most of the area generally known as the Grampian Highlands, geographically bounded by the Great Glen Fault to the north and the Highland Border Fault to the south. The Dalradian of Scotland offers the greatest variety of metamorphic rocks to be found in the British Isles. There are sedimentary rocks ranging in composition from limestones and mudstones to conglomerates, often with beautifully preserved sedimentary structures providing evidence of the depositional environments.

The Aberystwyth District (1995)
compiled by M.R.Dobson

The Aberystwyth Grits and Borth Mudstones (Silurian) are magnificently exposed in accessible cliffs along the coastline of Cardigan Bay and are world-famous as classic examples of turbidity current deposition. But the region is also known for the variety of its glacial landforms and modern sedimentary environments . Nineteen itineraries are described in detail, the first eight dealing with the variations in the turbidite fan succession between New Quay in th south and Harp Rock in the north. The rest cover the Dovey Estuary, the Quaternary and solid geology of Cardigan Bay and the Plynlimon area. A glossary is included.
