    Chapter 3 Bedrock geology Brian Young Fluorite: White’s Level, Westgate © The Trustees of the Natural History Museum, London. Introduction All aspects of our physical, biological, social and economic environment fundamentally depend upon the rocks beneath our feet and the processes, including climate, that have shaped them, over millions of years of earth history, and which continue to do so. Even weather is, to varying extents, determined by the configuration of rocks into hills, mountains, valleys and oceans. Whereas these principles hold true across the globe, their relevance comes into especially sharp focus in places like Weardale where an appreciation of local rocks provides the literal ‘bedrock’ for understanding every aspect of the landscape’s character. 49 Geology is a key part of natural history which deciphers earth history from rocks, minerals and fossils in much the same way that historians use artefacts and documents. This is history on a grand scale, explaining the development of the earth and its materials from its formation around 4.6 billion years ago until the present day. Weardale’s rocks take us back approximately 450 Ma (Million Years), a journey compressed here into 26 pages in which we will see how such seemingly distant events have shaped the place we know today. As geology does not recognise administrative boundaries, and in order to explain the Dale’s rocks in their wider context, it will be necessary to mention some places and features outwith the Dale. Weardale’s geological legacies Geology, or earth science as it is better described today, emerged as a discrete scientific discipline in the latter years of the eighteenth century, but has a much longer pedigree.
