River Bed

The remains of Birds from Quaternary deposits in this country have been so rarely recorded, that any fresh evidence, throwing light upon our Pleistocene avian fauna, cannot but be of interest. The specimen about to be described was found in the “Mundesley River Bed,” from whence was obtained the Emys lutaria described in this Magazine in 1879 (Dec. II. Vol. VI. p. 304). In a note appended to that paper, Mr. H. B. Woodward has given a short account of this Mundesley deposit, and it will be found fully described in the Geological Survey Memoir, by Mr. C. Reid, “On the Geology of the Country around Cromer,” pp. 119 and 126.

The cause, or causes, which result in the foliation of igneous rocks is a subject which at present occupies the attention of many geologists, and seems likely, in the near future, to lead to some discussion. In view of this, a short account of the foliated granite of the Himalayas may be of interest. It may be as well, however, to preface my remarks by saying that I believe that foliation may be produced in several distinct ways, and the explanation which I offer of the mode in which the foliation of the Himalayan granite has been brought about is only intended to apply to the case of that granite.In the following pages I propose to give a brief summary only of some of the more important results worked out in detail in a series of papers published in the Eecords of the Geological Survey of India; and to add thereto a brief consideration of the question whether the foliation of the gneissose-granite of the Himalayas

Glaciotectonic deformation has a large impact on the stratigraphical and lithological variability of Quaternary deposits and the shallow subsurface pre-Quaternary sediments. Mapping of the distribution of glaciotectonic deformation involving pre-Quaternary and interglacial deposits has been carried out, and the density of glaciotectonic deformation analysed, on the basis of data from the well database ZEUS, at the Geological Survey of Denmark. Glaciotectonic deformation is widespread in Denmark. It is recognised in glacial terrains within morphological well-defined glaciotectonic complexes, and in areas with no obvious glaciotectonic related morphology as well as in areas covered with postglacial deposits. The dislocated bedrock is usually not transported for long distances, although rafts of pre-Quaternary bedrock may be transported up to 50 km or more. On a large scale, regions have been located showing high intensity of glaciotectonic deformation. Some of these regions are in good agreement with records from exposures and the geomorphology, others cannot be recognised without well log information.

Third Dimension

AbstractThis paper describes the portrayal of the surface distribution of Quaternary deposits (drift) in a range of maps prepared by the Geological Survey (Scotland). It considers three methods of classification involving the use of 1. the familiar BGS symbol scheme, 2. the descriptive lithological codes of thematic map packages and 3. an alphabetical Classification adopted in a recent thematic study of the Clyde valley. The three dimensional distribution of Quaternary deposits has rarely been portrayed in map form. A lithological profile scheme, also prepared as part of the Clyde valley project, is advocated as an appropriate method of representing the third dimension in complex sequences.

Field Investigations

The present report deals with the Quaternary marine deposits in West Greenland. The area in question extends from Kugssineq, Svartenhuk peninsula, in the north to the settlement of Sukkertoppen in the south. The field investigations for the paper have been made partly in 1939, partly in 1946, last-mentioned year under the auspices of Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse (abb. G.G.U., i. e. Geological Survey of Greenland). All localities visited are described with added lists of the collected shells. On the basis of the investigations made it will be demonstrated that the stratigraphy of the layers at Orpigsôq drawn up by Jensen and Harder in 1910 (30) is applicable to all the area investigated. Furthermore a detailed examination is made of the petrographic structure, the content af shells, and the levels of the various horizons, a discussion of a few errors, and ultimately an attempt at a correllation of the Quaternary marine layers of Greenland with the corresponding postglacial layers of Iceland, Norway, and Denmark.

Terrain Surface

West of København, the top of the pre-Quaternary limestone is found near the terrain surface. There is only a relatively thin cover of Quaternary deposits, which makes the limestone vulnerable to pollution. Region Hovedstaden, being responsible for treating polluted sites, therefore asked GEO and the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland to describe the geology and hydraulic characteristics of the limestone formations (Galsgaard et al. 2014). During this work new information and data were collected and a revised geological model established for the area between København and Roskilde (Fig. 1). The model is based on seismic sections, a revised map of the pre-Quaternary surface, biostratigraphy, borehole information and geophysical data. This paper presents the revised geological model.

Small Series

A Small series of rocks collected at several localities in the Tonga Islands by Lieutenant J. A. Waugb, R.N., during the voyage of the “Penguin” in 1895, has been forwarded to the Geological Survey for examination, by Admiral Wharton, R.N., F.R.S., Hydrographer to the Admiralty. As in some particulars these rocks supplement those already described by Mr. A. Harker (GKOL. MAG. 1891, p. 250), from the same group of islands, it seems desirable that a short account of them should be placed on record.

The recent retirement of Sir Andrew Ramsay from the post of Director-General of the Geological Survey of Great Britain, affords us a fitting opportunity to place on record in the pages of the Geological Magazine a short account of the career of this eminent living geologist.
