Book Description

Excerpt from On the Igneous and Pyroclastic Rocks of the Berwyn Hills (North Wales) This constitutes a large portion of the Central Upland of Wales, consisting principally of Ordovician sediments, anked on three sides by formations of Silurian age which once entirely covered it. It is not intended here to enter into the detailed history of the sedimentary rocks, which, nevertheless, is highly essential for the correct interpretation of numberless faults, as yet unmapped, and variations in horizontal equivalents. The task is the correlation of notes recorded during a series of years in a resume of the nature and classification of the bedded and complementary hypabyssal igneous rocks of the region.
