Field excursion to the Gower
By Wilson44691 – Own work, CC0.
We plan to visit south Wales next summer on the weekend 19-20th June 2027. On the Saturday, Dr Andrew Barnett of Shell will be showing some of the classic sections of the Carboniferous Limestone on the Gower Peninsula that record deposition on a carbonate ramp influenced by sea level and climate change. On the Sunday, Professor Paul Wright and Professor Sue Marriott will lead us at Ogmore-by-Sea and Southerndown to view some excellent coastal exposures of the spectacular unconformity between the Carboniferous and the Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic.
Members wishing to attend the excursion and reserve a place should notify our Field Excursion Secretary at mike.stoddart@live.co.uk
