SUMMARY:The Moine Thrust Controversy
DESCRIPTION:given by Dr. Peter Gutteridge (Director\, Cambridge Carbonates) \nAbstract:\nThe NW Highlands of Scotland probably has the best scenery and geology in the world. You can find the oldest rocks in the British Isles\, the first evidence of life\, ancient landscapes carved out by preCambrian rivers and beautifully exposed Lower Palaeozoic clastic and carbonate sediments. These all form part of a major fold and thrust belt on which the metamorphosed Moine schists were emplaced. \nHowever\, geologist Roderick Impy Murchison saw this as a conformable succession. It is worth asking the question\, why did Victorian geologists so completely miss evidence that is so obvious to geologists today? The answers lie in the state of geological science at the time\, geopolitics and social climbing. Resolution of the Moine thrust controversy was a turning point in the history of geology gave us the foundations of the science of geology as we now know it. \nView this talk in the Members’ Section.

SUMMARY:Charnwood Forest
DESCRIPTION:Following interest expressed at the last HGS meeting (Oct) we’ve been in touch with John Carney (ret BGS) and he is willing to lead an HGS trip to Charnwood Forest. \nFor a reasonably compact visit-site\, with all facilities and good scenery\, even Tudor history Bradgate Park provides a great opportunity to potentially find evidence of ancient volcanoes\, igneous intrusions\, earthquakes\, and tsunamis can be found together. We will start at the Hunt’s Hill entrance clearly marked on the Bradgate Park Find Us webpage. \n\n\n\nMore details will be provided in the May Chalk Board. Meet up at Hunters Hill 10:00 – 10:15\, picnic of café for lunch and a selection of great tea shops in Newton Linford to relax at the end of the day. Good paths – undulating walk 5 km. \nTo register for this trip please e-mail nicpierpoint@aol.com
