  • The Late Pleistocene Sequence at Wells, Somerset
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1988, l« (2), 241-257 THE LATE PLEISTOCENE SEQUENCE AT WELLS, SOMERSET by D. T. DONOVAN ABSTRACT Late Quaternary deposits and geomorphologicai features within a radius of about 4 km of Wells, Somerset, England are reviewed. The earliest well dated occurrence is the Hippopotamus fauna from Milton Hill, assigned to the warm interglacial episode corresponding to Oxygen Isolopc Stage 5c in deep sea cores. The dissected Reward Grave! is thoughl to be older, perhaps O.I.S. 6. The Wookey Hole ravine developed during ihe early part of the lasi glaeiulion (O.I.S. 5?), the Ebbor gorge later (O.I.S. 37) The Wells and Wookey Station gravel spreads, the former with woolly rhinoceros and ?mummoth, are correlated with the maximum glacial advance of the Late Devensian. INTRODUCTION The City of Wells has in its immediate vicinity an unusually rich assortment of Late Pleistocene deposits and sites. Many of these were investigated by the late H. E. Balch, Curator of Wells Museum, and his finds are to be found in the Museum along with more casual discoveries. The present paper is an attempt to survey some of this material and its chronological significance. It is convenient to deal in some detail with the Late Pleistocene as defined by Bovven et a!. (1987, p. 299), that is, beginning at the base of Oxygen Isotope Stage 5e. Middle Pleistocene deposits of great importance are found at Westbury-sub-Mendip, only 6 km from Wells (Bishop, 1982) but at present they cannot be satisfactorily connected with the chronology of the later deposits.

  • Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide
    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.

  • Baker, W, Geology of Somerset, Volume 1
    GEOLOGY OP SOMERSET. 127 (©rnlngq nf $mmtt BY MR. W. BAKER. ICOME before you as one of the representatives of the natural history department of this society, to offer a few observations on the most striking geological features of our highly interesting field of research,— the beautiful county of Somerset. The course which I have laid out for myself is, to pass from the oldest formation, in the order of geological time, to our rieh alluvial lands, which are now in a state of accumulation ; and to offer a few brief remarks on the features of the principal formations, merely to open the way for future papers of detail, on the numerous interesting por- tions of the province, which we now call our own. More than thirty years ago, a young member of our very oldest geological family, — syenite— was observed at Hestercombe, one of the extended branches of the Quantock-hills, and the fact re- corded in the transactions of the London Geological 128 PAPERS, ETC. Society, by Leonard Horner, Esq. late president of that Society. —This discovery indicates tliat granite may be found in other parts of our western district. The Quantocks, and the hüls farther west, are the transition, or grauwacke, formation, and are of the lowest sedimentary deposits. Few or no organic remains have been found in the grauwacke of Somerset, but some are known in the sarae class of rocks in Devon and Cornwall. In our hüls, however, we have numerous beds of limestone, rieh in madrepores, corals and encrinites. This limestone is much quarried for manure in several places.

  • Mendip District Council Report to Shepton Mallet Town Council
    Mendip District Council Report to Shepton Mallet Town Council Report 1- From Cllr Kennedy Poll / referendum on Unitary The 4 district councils that are due to be subsumed into a single or a two unitary local authority have all agreed to support an independently conducted poll to ask all constituents what outcome they would wish to be governed by for at least the next generation. The cost of conducting this democratic outreach is equivalent to the cost of a postage stamp per resident. Please have your say. It’s not only your democratic right to decide between these two options, but it will shape the future of how services are to be delivered from schools and roads, to house building and environmental protection. Neither option is perfect and this change in how local government is about to be transformed is being imposed from Westminster and ultimately decided by Robert Jenrick, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government. There are substantial implications for our town and parish since many services that were managed locally will become more distant. We will be invited to take on facilities that we collectively feel would be better managed by the town. However there are pitfalls to watch out for, including being given control of services or facilities but denied the associated devolution of the resources (financial and management burden) that should by rights accompany them. This is exactly what has happened in Wiltshire and Cornwall when they switched to a Unitary authority. There will also be a very substantial loss in local representation as only a fraction of councillors will make the transition to a single county-wide Unitary authority if it is based on the same geographic footprint as the existing Somerset County Council.

  • A Temporary Section in Head at Bourne, Burrington, Somerset
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc., 2006, 24 (1), 5-15 A TEMPORARY SECTION IN HEAD AT BOURNE, BURRINGTON, SOMERSET by D.C. FINDLAY and J.A. CATT ABSTRACT Head (alluvial fan) deposits exposed in 1977 at Bourne near the mouth of Burrington Combe are attributed to two distinct cold periods, one before the Ipswichian Interglacial (Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage 5e) and one during the Late Devensian (MIS 2). The Ipswichian (and possibly earlier interglacials) is represented by reddened, clay-enriched soil horizons (paleo-argillic B horizons) developed in decalcified upper parts of the coarse flood gravels and coversand, which together constitute the older Head. The younger Head is thinner and consists of stony loams derived partly from the older Head, but also incorporating Late Devensian loess. INTRODUCTION In the 1950s the Geological Survey of Great Britain (now British Geological Survey) updated the 19th century surveys of the Mendip area and, coincidentally, the Soil Survey of England and Wales (now the National Soil Resources Institute) extended their previous work in Somerset onto Sheets 279/280 (Weston & Wells). The joint results, both published in 1965 (Findlay 1965, Green and Welch 1965), provided a better understanding of Pleistocene deposits in the area, particularly those on footslopes of the Mendips. Here the most extensive deposits are classed as Head by British Geological Survey and are best seen near the mouths of the larger combes, at Burrington (ST 4759) and Churchill (ST 4459) to the north and Cheddar (ST 4553) to the south, where they form fans up to 4 km wide. They are mainly gravels 1-5 m thick and composed of Carboniferous Limestone, Dolomitic Conglomerate and Old Red Sandstone clasts.
