  • The Stones of Osterley Park House Ruth Siddall
    Urban Geology in London No. 37 The Stones of Osterley Park House Ruth Siddall Osterley Park House was designed and built by Robert Adam (1728-1792) in the late 18th Century, between 1761 and the 1780s. It was commissioned by the Child Family and superseded a Tudor Mansion on the same site. Adam had ‘total design’ control of the construction and interior decoration of the house. This assumes that Adam also had a hand in overseeing if not selecting the building materials used. This brief report summarises the building and decorative stones used in the building, as observed following a visit to Osterley Park House in June 2017. Portico and Courtyard Portland Whitbed is used for the pediment, balustrade, quoins and other stone dressings on the exterior of Osterley Park House. It is also used for paving and for the columns supporting the pediment. This stone is identified by the pale grey colour with darker fossilised shells of oysters, which now weather slightly proud of the surface. Sedimentary bedding alignment can be detected in both columns and in some flagstones due to the concentration of shell beds. Portland Whitbed is the most commonly used of three main building stones extracted from the Portland Limestone Formation which occurs in outcrop and subcrop on the Isle of Portland, a peninsula on the Dorset Coast. Whitbed contains variable fossil content, predominantly in the form of oyster shells with well-preserved, laminated shells and also fragments of the reef-forming algae Solenpora portlandica. Two other units are also extracted as building stone; the Basebed and the Roach.

CONSULTATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS………………………………………………5 5. DISCUSSION……………………………………………………………………………………..11 6. CONCLUSIONS…………………………..……………………………………………………..14 7. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS…………………………………………………………………....14 8. APPENDIX..……………………………………………………………………………………...14 1 JURASSIC COAST FOSSIL ACQUISITION STRATEGY 1. Introduction The aim of this project is to identify ways to safeguard important scientific fossils from the Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site. The identification of placements in accredited museums would enable intellectual access for scientific study and education. Two consulting companies Weightman Associates and Hidden Horizons have been commissioned to undertake this Project. Weightman Associates is a partnership of Gill Weightman and Alan Weightman; they have been in partnership for twenty years working on museum and geology projects. Hidden Horizons Ltd is a museum and heritage consultancy formed in 2013 by Will Watts. When UNESCO granted World Heritage status to the Dorset and East Devon Coast in 2001 it recognised the importance of the Site’s geology and geomorphology. The Jurassic Coast Management Plan 2014-2019 has as one of its aims to “To Conserve and enhance the Site and its setting for science, education and public enjoyment” and the Plan states that a critical success factor is “An increase in the number of scientifically important fossils found along the site that are acquired by or loaned back to local accredited museums”.

Portland presents a complex and unique set of circumstances that needs very careful consideration and planning. We are grateful that the Localism Act 2012 has provided the community with the opportunity to get involved in that planning and to put in place a Neighbourhood Plan that must be acknowledged by developers. We must adhere to national planning policy and conform to the strategic policies of the West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland Local Plan. Beyond that, we are free to set the land use policies that we feel are necessary. Over the past three years much research, several surveys, lots of consultation and considerable discussion has been carried out by a working group of local people.

  • N253: Geoscience for the Oil Industry: the Jurassic
    Competence Level: N253: Geoscience for the Oil 3 Days Awareness Industry: The Jurassic Coast Petroleum System (Dorset, UK) Field Course Instructor(s): TBA Classroom Elements Low Physical Demand 3D Outcrop Imagery Summary The course is a predominantly field-based introduction to the oil and gas industry using the world famous Jurassic Coast Petroleum System in Southern England for illustration. It is intended as an introduction to petroleum geoscience and the basics of petroleum exploration and exploitation for individuals who have limited technical knowledge of these subjects. Learning Outcomes Participants will learn to: 1. Describe the fundamental principles of geology including geological time, plate tectonics, stratigraphy, palaeontology and rock composition. 2. Review the process of sedimentary basin formation and filling from erosion to deposition. 3. Discuss petroleum systems analysis including the concepts of source, migration, reservoir, trap and sealing. 4. Recognise different types of reservoir rocks and their properties, including porosity and permeability. Duration and Training Method A three day field class with an 90:10 split of field to classroom based activities. The teaching method is a combination of field work, practical demonstrations, exercises and classroom lectures based upon the geology of the Jurassic Coast, Dorset. This course will also make use of Digital Outcrop Imagery (DOI). The fieldwork component will focus on the petroleum system of the Wytch Farm oilfield. Physical Demand The physical demands for this class are LOW according to the Nautilus Training Alliance field course grading system. The sections are almost entirely coastal foreshore and cliff sections. Walking distances are short, up to 2 km (1.5 miles), along beaches and cliff top paths, and ascents minimal.
