Anglesey

Anglesey's rocks provide a detailed record of the events leading to the formation of southern Britain. Formed between 650 & 300 Ma, they include high grade gneisses, a granite pluton, metasediments, sandstones, mudstones and the famous Anglesey Blueschists. There are also Paleogene dykes, abundant glacial features, a number of NE–SW faults and large sandstones blocks possibly marking the location of an ancient subduction zone.

Sedimentary systems in the Paleocene lava fields of the Inner Hebrides by Dr Brian Bell

Kelvin Hall 1445 Argyle Street, Glasgow, United Kingdom

The spectacular remnants of Paleocene lava fields in the Inner Hebrides are dominated by thick sequences of simple (sheet-like) flows and more complex compound flows. Understanding the architecture of these volcanic and interbedded sedimentary systems allows us to get a glimpse into the dynamic development of these lava fields.
