Website:http://www.arnsidesilverdaleaonb.org.uk/AONB/Support/Bittern-Countryside-CIC.html Page 2 Rocks and Soils of the Arnside & Silverdale AONB Text and photos by Peter Standing - April 2014 Geobasics The hard geology or bedrock of the AONB consists almost entirely of limestones from the early Carboniferous. These are only exposed on the surface as outcrops of bare rock across less than 15% of the 4445 hectares of the land based AONB. Elsewhere the limestone is covered by soft geology of soils and sediments. Other non-native, erratic rocks have been transported here by glacial ice. The AONB has many examples of these glacial erratics, notably rocks of the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, Shap Granite and the ubiquitous Silurian greywacke. Identifying Rocks Successful rock Identification is rather like bird watching ‘giz’. There are many clues such as typical landforms, bed structures, texture, colour and microscopic appearance. Different limestones can even have distinctive smells and sounds. The surface appearances of rocks can be misleading because many develop weathering features and coatings of algae, lichens and mosses which disguise the true colour and texture within. This inner appearance can be exposed by breaking the rock but geological hammering is generally discouraged now and it is better practice to try and inspect naturally fractured specimens.
