Geology Of The Country Around Horsham

The Horsham district is one of the most scenically attractive and geologically complex areas of south-east England. This memoir is the first account of the geology of the district, describing the lithologies and structure of the rocks that crop out, and reviewing their sedimentary history - relating it to the deep geological structure that has been revealed by exploration for hydrocarbons. It also examines the geological history of the district back to Carboniferous times, more than 300 million years ago.

This second edition of 'The Geology of England and Wales' is considerably expanded from its predecessor, reflecting the increase in our knowledge of the region, and particularly of the offshore areas. Forty specialists have contributed to 18 chapters, which cover a time range from 700 million years ago to 200 million years into the future. A new format places all the chapters in approximately temporal order. Both offshore and economic geology now form an integral part of appropriate chapters.
