A detailed account of the geology shown on the complementary 1: 50 000 (or earlier 1: 63 360) geological map(s)
This latest memoir concentrates on the area between the Bowland Fells and Longridge Fell in the east to the coastal plain of the Fylde in the west. The information provided will prove useful for those involved in the search for natural resources such as oil and gas in Lancashire. Also it will be useful for engineers and planners in a district crossed by major arterial road and rail routes as well as vital oil, gas and water pipelines. The area's comprehensive geological history is described and clearly illustrated through sketch maps and colour photographs.
Britain and Ireland have a remarkably varied geology for so small a fragment of continental crust, with a fine rock record back through three billion years of geological time. This history would have been interesting enough if it had been played out on relatively stable continental crust. However, Britain and Ireland have developed at a tectonic crossroads, on crust once traversed by subduction zones and volcanic arcs, continental rifts and mountain belts. The resulting complexity is instructive, fascinating and perplexing. Geological History of Britain and Ireland tells the region's story at a level accessible to undergraduate geologists, as well as to postgraduates, professionals or informed amateurs. This second edition is fully revised and updated, reflecting our continually developing knowledge of the region's geology. Full coverage is again given to the rich Precambrian and Early Palaeozoic history, as well as to later events more relevant to hydrocarbon exploration. The book is an essential starting point for more detailed studies of the regional geology. Additional resources for this book can be found at: http://www.wiley.com/go/woodcock/geologicalhistory
