Geology of the Rothbury district : a brief explanation of the geological map Sheet 9 Rothbury
2011
This Sheet Explanation provides a summary
of the geology of the district covered by
the 1:50 000 scale Geology Series Sheet 9
Rothbury, published in a combined Bedrock
and Superficial Deposits edition in 2009.
The geology is described using the revised
lithostratigraphical classification adopted
for Carboniferous rocks in Great Britain
(Waters et al., 2007). More comprehensive
descriptions of aspects of the geology can
be found in individual Technical Reports and
Research Reports prepared during the resurvey
and in the comprehensive memoir that
accompanied the previous revision survey
of the district (Fowler, 1936). Many of the
detailed observations and descriptions contained
in the 1936 memoir still hold, albeit
couched in old-fashioned terms. The local
geological succession is summarised inside
the front cover of this Sheet Explanation, and
Figure 1 provides a comparison between
previous and current classifications applied
to the rocks.
