Stanford Geological Atlas Of Great Britain And Ireland -1907

Excerpt from Stanford's Geological Atlas of significant Britain and eire: With Plates of attribute FossilsThe scope of this paintings has been enlarged via the addition of a caricature of the geological good points of eire, its counties and major traces of railway; and the topic is illustrated by means of a geological map of the rustic, and by way of 3 illustrations borrowed from Professor E.

Applied Coastal Geomorphology

This quantity is a suite of papers, preceded by means of an introductory essay, on coastal physiography. all of the authors have made major contributions to the topic. they're of alternative nationalities and the papers are, intentionally, now not all contemporary ones. during this publication emphasis has been laid totally on issues that are of basic instead of neighborhood or maybe neighborhood worth.

This suggestion has not been accepted by other workers (Chauvel & Guerrak 1989; Kearsley 1989). The material illustrated by Champetier et al. appear to show normal ironstone ooids. The central cavity described by them appears to be due to the loss of the ooid core during specimen preparation and the lunate divisions are the equatorial thickenings of cortical sheaths so common in berthieroid ooids (Siehl & Thein 1989). Chauvel & Guerrak (1989) also indicate that the Devonian example given by Champetier et al.

In the same manner, therefore, that the 'Lincolnshire Limestone' has now been formally embraced by the Lincolnshire Limestone Formation (Ashton 1980), the 'Cleveland Ironstone' has now been formalized as the Cleveland Ironstone Formation (Howard 1985); the terms Limestone and Ironstone in these names being purely qualifiers indicating the dominant lithology. The form 'Cleveland Iron-Formation' (Iron-formation sensu Trendall 1983) would not be desirable as a formal lithostratigraphic term, because it contains no formal indication of rank, but does contain the word 'formation' suggesting to a reader that it is of formation rank; formal lithostratigraphic units with names such as 'Cleveland IronFormation Member' would be highly undesirable.
