Stratigraphical Columns These notes gather data about stratigraphical columns proposed for the geology of the Lake District in the early 19th century, the period when geology was being born as a science. Some later material is included for comparison. I have no competence as a geologist, and all this note attempts is to assemble information from a number of sources looked at as part of the Lakes Guides project. This note is not a complete list of early geological writings. Other early works are described by Oldroyd 2002 with biographical information about the geologists, and careful study of the development of geological ideas. Part of the motivation for my note is to fit the map published by William Whellan and Co, found at Threlkeld Quarry Museum, into the scheme of things. |
