These data are used to support new digital mapping and lithostratigraphical subdivision of the Chalk Group on Sheet 238. ii OR/12/067; Draft 0.1 Last modified: 2013/02/12 18:34 1 Introduction New collections of macrofossils and geological details of 53 localities in the Chalk Group of the Aylesbury district (Sheet 238) are described below. Many of the localities are old, largely degraded chalk pits or cuttings, with relatively poor exposure of bedrock. Nevertheless, these localities provide valuable insights into lithological variation within the Chalk Group of the district. Combining these lithological observations with biostratigraphical dating of the macrofaunas, permits correlation with the standard lithostratigraphical framework established for the Chalk Group of southern England (e.g. Mortimore et al., 2001). These interpretations are used to support new digital field mapping and lithostratigraphical classification of the Chalk Group of the Aylesbury district, following the field methodology described by Aldiss et al. (2012). The distribution of the localities described in this report is summarised on Figure 1, and Figure 2 shows the stratigraphy referred to in this report. Author citations for fossil species are given in Appendix 1. 2 Stratigraphy The 53 localities in the Chalk Group of the Aylesbury district that form the basis of this work are described sequentially below. (1) Exposure on east side of bridleway adjacent to Grove Wood, c. 350 m NNW of Hastoe House, Hastoe, Hertfordshire. 1:10 000 SP90NW NGR: SP 91606 09755 Specimen nos: WMD 16035 – 16045 The specimens were collected from poorly fossiliferous, grainy-textured chalk; mostly rather soft but with more indurated patches. The sparse fossil material comprises fragmentary remains of the inoceramid bivalve Cremnoceramus, including C. crassus?, and a cidarid echinoid fragment. Interpretation: Cremnoceramus crassus suggests assignment to the M. cortestudinarium Zone, in which Cremnoceramus is characteristic. In conjunction with the lithology, assignment to the higher part of the Lewes Nodular Chalk might be inferred. Conclusion: White Chalk Subgroup, upper Lewes Nodular Chalk Formation; Coniacian, M. cortestudinarium Zone. (2) Exposure on West side of bridleway. c. 420 m NNW of Hastoe House, Hertfordshire. 1:10 000 SP90NW NGR: SP 91600 09801 Specimen nos: WMD 16046 – 16048 The specimens were collected from a similar Chalk to that seen at (1) (above), although somewhat more indurated in character. The fauna includes the inoceramid bivalve Cremnoceramus, including C. denselamellatus. Interpretation: Cremnoceramus denselamellatus suggests assignment to the M. cortestudinarium Zone, in which Cremnoceramus is characteristic. In conjunction with the lithology, assignment to the higher part of the Lewes Nodular Chalk might be inferred. 1 OR/12/067; Draft 0.1 Last modified: 2013/02/12 18:34 Conclusion: White Chalk Subgroup, upper Lewes Nodular Chalk Formation; Coniacian, M. cortestudinarium Zone. (3) Exposure on west side of bridleway, 380 m SSE of West Leith Farm, Tring, Hertfordshire. 1:10 000 SP90NW NGR: SP 91643 09967 Specimen nos: WMD 16049 – 16055; 16056 – 16057 This locality exposes the Chalk Rock, at the base of the Lewes Nodular Chalk Formation. There is a rapid downward transition, within 1 m, from the intensely hard chalk of the Chalk Rock, into firm, smooth-textured chalk resembling New Pit Chalk. This relationship is somewhat unexpected, as previous studies (Bromley & Gale, 1982) suggest that

  • Definition of Chalk
    1.1: Introduction: 1.1.1: Definition of chalk: Chalk is a soft, white, porous sedimentary carbonate rock, a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite. Calcite is calcium carbonate or CaCO3. It forms under reasonably deep marine conditions from the gradual accumulation of minute calcite shells (coccoliths) shed from micro-organisms called coccolithophores. Flint (a type of chert unique to chalk) is very common as bands parallel to the bedding or as nodules embedded in chalk. It is probably derived from sponge spicules or other siliceous organisms as water is expelled upwards during compaction. Flint is often deposited around larger fossils such as Echinoidea which may be silicified (i.e. replaced molecule by molecule by flint). Chalk as seen in Cretaceous deposits of Western Europe is unusual among sedimentary limestone in the thickness of the beds. Most cliffs of chalk have very few obvious bedding planes unlike most thick sequences of limestone such as the Carboniferous Limestone or the Jurassic oolitic limestones. This presumably indicates very stable conditions over tens of millions of years. Figure (1-1): Calcium sulphate 1 "Nitzana Chalk curves" situated at Western Negev, Israel are chalk deposits formed at the Mesozoic era's Tethys Ocean Chalk has greater resistance to weathering and slumping than the clays with which it is usually associated, thus forming tall steep cliffs where chalk ridges meet the sea. Chalk hills, known as chalk downland, usually form where bands of chalk reach the surface at an angle, so forming a scarp slope. Because chalk is well jointed it can hold a large volume of ground water, providing a natural reservoir that releases water slowly through dry seasons.

Calcium carbonate can be mined from the earth in solid form or it may be extracted from seawater or other brines by industrial processes. Natural shells, bones and chalk are composed predominantly of calcium carbonate. WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPLE USES OF CALCIUM CARBONATE? Calcium carbonate is an important ingredient of many household products. It is used as a whitening agent in paints, soaps, art products, paper, polishes, putty products and cement. It is used as a filler and whitener in many cosmetic products including mouth washes, creams, pastes, powders and lotions.

  • HS2 Draft Environmental Statement Buckinghamshire Councils
    HS2 Draft ES: response of the Buckinghamshire Councils HS2 DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT Buckinghamshire Councils response part 3 CFA 10 Dunsmore, Wendover and Halton The area is within the Chilterns AONB – a nationally recognised and protected landscape. We feel, however, that the draft ES does not fully recognise this and suggests poor and inadequate mitigation. There are serious concerns about the impact of the maintenance loop on this community area; a concern compounded by the fact that no noise assessment has been carried out. There is also serious concern about the disruption that will be caused by HGV traffic in the area, particularly with regards to the use of some of the narrower, more rural roads. The impact of construction and operation on the setting of grade II* listed buildings within Wendover are not adequately assessed – particularly in the case of St Mary’s church, an active place of worship within 200m of the green tunnel portal. Comments on Part B: Description of the proposed scheme 2.2.2 We are concerned about impact of the maintenance loop on the wider landscape. There is very little information on the visual appearance and operation of the maintenance loop given. 2.2.5 Further, the HS2 route and maintenance loop will be on an embankment in this area increasing its visibility. We are concerned about the impact of this in particular since the draft ES suggests that Risborough Road over bridge would rise to 15m. Appropriate assessment of the visual impact and mitigation is crucial but currently not included in the draft ES.

This is one of many related papers that were included in the 2012 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download.
