We will examine beautifully exposed examples of contact metamorphic changes to the Dalradian Aberfoyle slate adjacent to a late Caledonian diorite intrusion, the Comrie pluton at Craig More.
An opportunity to examine Dalradian rocks (slates and grits of the Southern Highland Group) and structures related to the Tay Nappe
In this easy coastal walk we will examine sedimentary structures formed during the Early Carboniferous, the consequent changes of the flora and fauna, and tectonic structures imposed during the Late Carboniferous.
An excursion along the coast of County Antrim, where we will see rocks ranging in age from the Precambrian to the Quaternary and including the North Atlantic Igneous Province.
This conference is aimed at geologists and palaeontologists internationally, and all who have a general interest in Hugh Miller, fossils and the natural world.
We will look at the stones used to clad the buildings and see which are local stone and which come from further afield, and in doing so learn something of their geology.
The festival is aimed at all ages and knowledge levels and will include fun hikes, more serious walks, various family events, and evening talks.
As part of Glasgow's Doors Open Days festival for 2017, Glasgow Geological Society members Margaret Greene and David Webster will be providing guided tours and children's activities at Fossil Grove on Saturday September 16.
