The Igneous Complex of Y Foel Fras, Caernarvonshire

The bubbles are too large to show Brownian movement. Scale- <TH.ou-satid.ttisofan. inch. FIG. 3.—Liquid inclusions obtained in glass by heating a sealed tube containing water beyond the critical temperature. P.S.—Since writing the above I have repeated the experiment with similar success, and on this occasion some of the numerous inclusions show Brownian movement of the enclosed bubble. —C. E. B. The Igneous Complex of Y Foel Fras, Caernarvonshire. By NORMAN L. SILVESTER, B.SC, F.R.Met.Soc. rFHE area under consideration is a portion of the mountain massif -*- bounded on the east by the Conway River, on the north by the narrow coastal plain between Conway and Bangor, and on the west and south by the popular tourist route through Nant.-Francon pass by Llyn Ogwen and down the Afon Llugwy to Bettws y coed. Y Foel Frus, Caernarvonshire. 135 The investigation includes the horseshoe-shaped ring of mountains, of which the highest is Y Foel Fras (3,091 feet), surrounding the upper course of the Aber River (Cwm yr Afon Goch). To the north-west this igneous complex is bounded by the precipitatious crags over which the above stream descends by leaps and bounds, forming the well-known Aber Falls. Upon Sheet 78, south-east of the old Geological Survey map the area is coloured as " Massive intrusive felspathic rocks ", surrounding two oval patches indicated as " Greenstones ", whilst a further elongated patch of the latter forms the south-west boundary.

Argraffwyd gan / Printed by: Gwasg Ffrancon Dol Dafydd, Bethesda, Gwynedd LL57 3LY Contents Croeso i Adroddiad Blynyddol Sefydliad Achub Mynydd Dyffryn Ogwen (OVMRO) ar gyfer 2009. Dyma fy mlwyddyn gyntaf fel cadeirydd ac yr wyf yn ei chyfrif yn fraint fawr i ddal y swydd hon. Yn fuan ar ôl imi gymryd y swydd, derbyniais yr alwad ffôn y byddwn i gyd yn ei hofni. Lladdwyd un o aelodau ein tîm, John Evans, mewn damwain ym mwlch Llanberis. Ddeuddydd wedyn bu trasiedi arall, a chlywsom fod aelod arall o’r tîm ers tro byd, Mick Parsons, wedi marw o salwch ar ei wyliau yn yr Alban. Yn aelod hynod brofiadol o’r tîm, yr oedd John yn uchel ei barch a phob amser yn barod ei gyngor. Aelod pryfoclyd, gweithgar oedd Mick, a ni fyddai bywyd byth yn ddiflas yn ei gwmni ef. Cymeriadau gwahanol iawn oeddent, ond byddai’r ddau’n cyfrannu’n enfawr i’r tîm. Byddwn ni i gyd yn gweld eu colled, a bydd ein meddyliau gyda’r teuluoedd a’u ffrindiau. Bydd rhai ohonoch, efallai, yn darllen ein hadroddiad am y tro cyntaf, a heb fod yn sicr pa beth ’rydym yn ei wneud.

THIS LIST MAY BE FREELY DISTRIBUTEDAND REPRODUCED PROVIDING THAT THE INFORMATION IS NOT MODIFIED , AND THAT ORIGINAL AUTHORS ARE GIVEN CREDIT . N O INDIVIDUAL OR ORGANIZATION MAY MAKE FINANCIAL GAIN IN DOING SO WITHOUT EXPRESS PERMISSION OF MUD AND ROUTES MOUNTAINS OF WALES A L IST WELSH AND SIX HUNDRED IN STATURE (WASHIS) PB7 2 What are the WASHIS? Well, Scotland has it’s Munros (among others) and the Lakes have their Wain- rights. Wales doesn’t have a list of summits in it’s own right. While there are hills known as Nualls, they are not speciﬁc to Wales and include an ever in- creasing list of summits with 30 metres drop all around, making for a long list. It is also rather patronising for the Welsh and English hills (which I do not con- cern myself with here) to be included with that of a neighbouring country. Some lists also sck to the old imperial ﬁgure of 2000 feet making a mountain, or 610 metres, which really is rather clumsy in metric. Washis are all the hills in Wales that are over 600m and have at least 50 me- tres drop all around. Some notable tops have not made it into the main list, including some of the tradional ‘3000 Footers’. There are some other sum- mits missing from the list. Y Garn on the Nantlle ridge for one, an excellent viewpoint or Bera Mawr, an excellent lile scramble to the summit tor. Fan Y Big in the Beacons fails to make it too. Just because they’re not on the list, doesn’t mean they’re not worth vising.

Resetting of Rb-Sr Whole-Rock Ages During Acadian Low-Grade Metamorphism in North Wales
Journal of rhe Geological Society, London, Vol. 148, 1991, pp. 703-710, 3 figs, 2 tables. Printed in Northern Ireland Resetting of Rb-Sr whole-rock ages during Acadian low-grade metamorphism in North Wales J. A. EVANS NERC Isotope Geosciences Laboratory, Keyworth NG12 5GG, UK Abstract: Ordovicianvolcanic rocks andassociated sub-volcanic intrusions in NorthWales give Devonian, metamorphic Rb-Sr whole-rock ages. Isotopic resetting isnot confined to acid volcanic rocks. Three intrusions preserve Ordovician ages. The closed system resettingis not directly related to metamorphic grade, but appears to correlate with the extent to which the secondary metamorphic mineralassemblage is developed.Rocks giving Devonianages have a well developedsecondary mineralogy whereas those retaining Ordovician ages are less extensively altered. The metamorphic ages combine to give a Lower Devonian mean age and weighted 2a error of 399 f 9 Ma. Metamorph- ism is therefore synchronous with Acadian deformation in the North Wales area. The Caradoc Series in North Wales consists of sequences of pre-tectonic,having cleaved, hornfelsed margins (Sargent varied volcanic rocks interbedded with fossiliferous sedim- 1924, Tremlett1964; Bromley 1969), and are therefore entary rocks, the latter enabling stratigraphic controls to be pre-Devonian. placedupon the volcanicepisodes.
