  • 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.

    Geoscience in south-west England GOLDEN SPIKED! — THE UK’S FIRST GLOBAL STRATOTYPE SECTION AND POINT FOR A JURASSIC STAGE BOUNDARY, IN SOMERSET K. N. PAGE Page, K.N. 2001. Golden spiked! – The UK’s first Global Stratotype Section and Point for a Jurassic stage boundary, in Somerset. Geoscience in south-west England, 10, 000-000. The Sinemurian Stage, the second in a contemporary Jurassic System, was first proposed by Alcide d’Orbigny in 1842 and named after Semur-en-Auxois in eastern France. As exposures in the historical type area are stratigraphically incomplete, the search for a suitable stratotype, at which to formally define the stage, commenced elsewhere. Attention turned to SW England, and ultimately the West Somerset coast, where a considerably expanded Hettangian-Lower Sinemurian sequence has been proved. Subsequent work on the ammonite faunas has also revealed a much more complete sequence of ammonite faunas than had been recorded anywhere else in Europe at this level – ultimately leading to exposures near East Quantoxhead being highlighted as a potential Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) for the base of the Sinemurian Stage. International multidisciplinary study then led to intensive sampling of the Quantoxhead sections documenting macro- and microfossil, gamma-ray and magnetostratigraphical changes across the stage boundary. The proposal was subsequently ratified by the International Commission on Stratigraphy at the IUGS Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) symposium in August 2000. The first UK Jurassic “Golden Spike” can now be driven, globally defining for the first time, the base of the Sinemurian division of geological time.
