The Carboniferous Fife-Midlothian Basin Day 2
Leaders: Victor Hême de Lacotte and Chester Davies (Ph.D students Keele University), supported by Dr. Louis Howell (Capricorn Energy), with Dr. Stuart Clarke (Keele University) & Drs. Graham Leslie & Mike Browne (BGS/ EGS).
Note: due to availability of leaders, the date of these excursions has changed to 07/08 September (was 21/22 September)
Four linked excursions over two days at sites around the Carboniferous Fife-Midlothian Basin. These will explore the strata and sedimentology of the Leven-Midlothian syncline on either side of the Forth, in Fife on Saturday and East Lothian on Sunday. We will carefully examine key changes and translate our findings into interpretation of the offshore seismic data, with opportunities to learn the rudiments of stratigraphical logging. Informal post-fieldwork discussions can continue over refreshments.
