Thank to Dr Malcolm Butler (of UKOGL–UK Onshore Geophysical Library) who talked on the evidence from seismic surveys around the Martley and Midlands area.  Malcolm has a website with real in depth analysis of the results from bore holes and seismic surveys, free to use for educational purposes.  This work is a tribute to his and his team’s diligence in saving and making accessible, records from many sources that might well have been lost had be not acted. HERE is a link to a presentation he gave on the UKOGL database.

Rock of the Month–Kay shared her great enthusiasm and powers of deduction in deciding exactly the type of an attractive rock found years ago in mid Scotland.  HERE is her presentation.

HERE is this week’s starter (with Xmas Dinner menu) and at the AGM a retrospective for the year was show, find it HERE

Two important resource sites were noted:  during the meeting, the UK Onshore Geophysical Library HERE .  Visit this site, put the place you are searching for in the search box, the map will zoom to that place, you can view it full screen (OK so then you have to input the search again; once zoomed in click on a line, images on the table that appears then view and a graphic of seismic results will appear–best to fiddle with the site, lots on it.

The second resource that many of you might know but I didn’t, is Google Scholar HERE. Search for anything here, you can go really mad, so much information
