An ‘Introduction to the Geology of Devon’ travels back in time and summarises the history and variety of geology in Devon. A document called ‘Devon’s Rocks – A Geological Guide’ provides a compilation of all 13 rock type guides. The Educational Register of Geological Sites is designed to encourage the educational use of Devon’s fascinating and diverse geological and ...
The underlying geology is a mixture of carboniferous sandstones and shales, Devonian slates, sandstones and volcanics, with an area of transition sandwiched in between. Spectacular zig-zag patterns in the carboniferous rocks can be seen along the Atlantic coast at Hartland Quay.
Carboniferous strata (formerly referred to as the ‘Culm Measures’) occupy large parts of central and northern Devon. The succession comprises thick developments of deep-water, basinal mudstones, with thin interbedded sandstones. The end of the Carboniferous was a time of major tectonic upheaval (representing the culmination of the Variscan
Summary of the geology of the North Devon AONB and its immediate surroundings The AONB and its surroundings is mainly underlain by sandstones , shales and subordinate cherts belonging to the Carboniferous period. Outcrops of the underlying Devonian rocks, mainly shales, occur along the northern margin on the southern side of the River Taw (Figs ...
of South Devon comprises Carboniferous and Middle Devonian metasediments of sandstones, mudstones, black shales, cherts and volcanics, all of which have been subjected to thrusting. Into these has been intruded the Bodmin and Dartmoor mass, as well as satellite stocks of Kit Hill, Hingston/Gunnislake in Cornwall and Hemerdon in Devon.

The Nercwys association consists of deep stony fine loamy soils in drift derived mainly from Carboniferous sandstones and shales.

Devon (/ ˈ d ɛ v ən /, also known as Devonshire) is a county of England, reaching from the Bristol Channel in the north to the English Channel in the south. It is part of South West England, bounded by Cornwall to the west, Somerset to the north-east and Dorset to the east. The city of Exeter is the county town.The county includes the districts of East Devon, Mid Devon, North Devon
Bundoran’s Coastal Geology – The Bundoran Shale Formation at Bundoran, Co. Donegal Local geology story. To understand Bundoran’s Coastal Geology we must go right back in time. The Bundoran Shales were deposited during the Carboniferous Period (345 – 280 Ma). Before this time there was a large ocean called the Iapetus Ocean.
SANDSTONES The first of Paleozoic seas, during the Cambrian period, received coarse sandy sediments from swift streams flowing southward from bare highlands to the north. The shore line was somewhere in the Lake Superior trough, and to the west, somewhere near the central part of Keweenaw County.
The Carboniferous (/ ˌ k ɑːr. b ə ˈ n ɪ f. ər. ə s / KAHR-bə-NIF-ər-əs) is a geologic period and system that spans 60 million years from the end of the Devonian Period 358.9 million years ago (), to the beginning of the Permian Period, 298.9 Mya. The name Carboniferous means "coal-bearing" and derives from the Latin words carbō ("coal") and ferō ("I bear, I carry"), and was

of sandstones, shales and mudstones. Towards the end of the Carboniferous period, a mountain building event, known as the Variscan Orogeny, occurred and heat generated by the associated volcanic activity turned the shales into slates. Figure 2.1, shows that over half of Mid Devon is underlain by sandstones and slates of the Carboniferous period.

The Nercwys association consists of deep stony fine loamy soils in drift derived mainly from Carboniferous sandstones and shales. It is mapped in Clwyd, Devon, Derbyshire, North Yorkshire, Durham, Cleveland and Northumberland. The main soil is the Nercwys series of fine loamy stagnogleyic brown earths in drift with siliceous stones.

Most of the Cuyahoga Formation consist of interbedded siltstones, shales and fine-grained sandstones and can be broadly categorized as either marine shale or silty shale and sandstones. According to (Bork, and Malcuit, 1979), all of the marine shales within this formation contain invertebrate fossils.
county, at Crossdoney a little south-west of Cavan town. The northern half of the county is composed of Carboniferous rocks, firstly limestones deposited in a shallow tropical sea with lots of animal life. The sea then shallowed and was filled in with delta sediments which became sandstones and shales. These rocks occur in the uplands around Lough
Carboniferous in age, between about 360 and 320 Ma. The oldest Carboniferous rocks are pebble beds and sandstones deposited by rivers but these were buried beneath a thick succession of marine limestones, mudstones and sandstones as sea level rose to spread across the flood plains. Limestones, often fossiliferous, formed in clear tropical seas ...

Devonian Period - Devonian Period - Sediment types: A wide range of terrestrial and marine sediments of Devonian age are known internationally, and there is a corresponding variety of sedimentary rock types. Devonian igneous activity was considerable, albeit localized. Laurussia is thought to have been near-tropical and sometimes arid. Playa facies, eolian dunes, and fan breccias are known.

The cliffs at Hartland Quay in North Devon display a spectacularly folded sequence of alternating grey shales and sandstones known as the Crackington Formation that was deposited in the Carboniferous period approximately 320 million years ago. Rocks in the south west of the UK were subsequently subjected to an episode of major mountain building.
