GA Costa Blanca guide

43. Costa Blanca, Spain
F. Moseley
The geology of SE Spain is interesting and varied and so different from northern Europe. The guide has enough excursions (18) to occupy a field trip of two weeks. The structure of the Costa Blanca is complex, resulting from strong Alpine tectonics. The stratigraphy extends from the Triassic to the present day and specimens, especially fossils are to be found in abundance.

2. Geology of the Lake District (1990)
Geology of the Lake District
compiled by Frank Moseley
Although the aim was to cover equally each area in the region, the complex nature of the region meant that some selection was inevitable. Each of the 25 itineraries is produced by an expert on the ground. The guide is designed to be used with topographical maps. The importance of observing the code of geological fieldwork is emphasised.

7. Geology of the Manchester Area (1991)

Geology of the Manchester Area
 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

10. North Coast of Cornwall (1970)
The North Coast of Cornwall from Bude to Tintagel by W.R.Dearman, E.C.Freshney, A.F.King, M.Williams and M.C.McKeown
The itineraries described in this guide have been designed to illustrate the stratigraphy and structure of a long coastal tract of Devonian and Carboniferous rocks. As some aspects of the coastal structures are to be related to granite intrusion, one itinerary deals with the northern part of the Bodmin Moor granite and its envelope.

22. Geology of the Dorset Coast (1993)
Geology of the Dorset Coast
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.

26. The Peak District (1999)
The Peak District by F. Wolverson Cope
This is the third edition of this Guide and although there have been changes in classification etc. the general exposures are as good as they used to be. Most of the itineraries in this Guide have specific locations marked on accompanying sketch maps. Where greater precision is needed grid references are given.

27. Geology of South Shropshire (2002)
The Geology of South Shropshire
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.

31. West Cornwall (2005) 2nd Edition
West Cornwall A classic area of British geology on account of its wide variety of igneous and metamorphic rocks, and its mineral deposits, especially tin and copper. The five itineraries cover all the prime localities in the region where these rocks can be examined including Land’s End, Marazion, St. Michael’s Mount, Cligga Head, Kynance Cove and The Lizard.

32. Isle of Arran (1989)
Isle of Arran by W.S.McKerrow and F.B.Atkins
The large variety of igneous and sedimentary rocks to be seen on the excellent coastal and island exposures, perhaps excelling any other area in the world has made the Isle of Arran so popular with geologists. The guide has been written assuming a very basic knowledge of geology on the part of the reader. After an extensive introduction to the geology of Arran the six excursions are described together with geological sketch maps. Each excursion can be carried out in seven to eight hours with an indication of a suitable lunch stop!

34. The Yorkshire Coast (1992)
The Yorkshire Coast by P.F.Rawson & J.K.Wright
The Yorkshire coast provides magnificent exposures of Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks. The coastal area is now firmly established as a standard for comparison with both the less well exposed areas inland and also for the offshore North Sea basins. Although there has been serious overcollecting from many of the best known coastal sites , excellent specimens can be picked up loose at many of the
localities described.
