Synopsis

Exploring Yorkshire’s Mountain Limestone District, from maps to fossils This volume presents a thorough look at the Geology of Yorkshire, focusing on the Mountain Limestone region with accompanying maps, sections, diagrams, and fossil illustrations. It guides readers through rock types, structures, and the history recorded in the rocks, with detailed field observations and historical context.

The book combines narrative chapters with practical data, including cross-cutting veins, subterranean movements, and fault systems that shape the landscape. It also surveys nearby coal deposits and their relation to larger regional geology, offering a grounded view of how dislocations and older rocks influence present-day outcrops. The edition is rich with plates and diagrams that illuminate the fossils and rock relationships that define the district.
