Caledonian Structures in Britain: South of the Midland Valley: 3 (Chapman & Hall Medical Atlas Series) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The aim of the "Geological Conservation Review Series" is to inform geologists and other scientists, landowners and occupiers of land, planners and members of the public of special features of interest in sites being considered for notification as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSIs). This volume deals with those sites selected as part of the Geological Conservation Review within the southern British part of the Caledonides - a Caledonian terrain without strong and pervasive deformation and metamorphism, such as occured further north. It is of particular interest because the former Caledonian mountain chain, which can be seen today in fragmented pieces in Scandinavia, Britain, Ireland and North America, was ultimately the result of the collision of two continental plates and the closure of a former ocean, Iapetus.

Caledonian Structures in Britain: South of the Midland Valley
Seller: Deeside Books, Ballater, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Large Hardback in illustrated covers, size 30 x 22cm, some light shelfwear, otherwise in Fine condition, no dustwrapper, as issued. First edition, pp177, b&w illustrations, maps and tables. THE PACKED WEIGHT OF THIS BOOK IS OVER 1KG, SO FOR UK FIRST CLASS AND INTERNATIONAL, ADDITIONAL POSTAGE COSTS WILL BE REQUIRED. This volume deals with those sites selected as part of the Geological Conservation Review (GCR) within the southern British part of the Caledonides, that is, the paratectonic Caledonides - a Caledonian terrane without strong and pervasive deformation and metamorphism, such as occurred further north. This orogenic belt formed by long and complex processes of earth movements between 500 and 380 million years before the present (?late Cambrian to mid-Devonian times), and has been classic ground for geologists for two hundred years. It is perhaps no accident that James Hutton in 1795 chose to illustrate his geostrophic cycle (and unconformity) with three visually explicit examples of the deformation wrought on Lower Palaeozoic rocks by Caledonian events. The former Caledonian mountain chain, which can be seen today in fragmented pieces in Scandinavia, Britain and Ireland, and North America, was ultimately the result of the collision of two continental plates and the closure of a former ocean, Iapetus. Some of these fragments, including those in Scandinavia, southern Britain, and the Republic of Ireland and the Maritime Provinces of Canada, are thought to have lain on the south side of the ocean before collision: the rest of North America, northern Ireland, and Scotland are thought to have lain north of the former Iapetus.
