My dissertation is sitting completed, printed and bound, ready for hand-in tomorrow. After this I will never have to think about limestone again! It goes without saying of course that I will want to think about limestone again, but the point is I won't have to. From here on it's entirely up to me

I didn't really pay the

I didn't really pay the thing on the slide any more attention as in the grand scheme of things it's probably not too relevant.
Here's the abstract:

"The author carried out fieldwork around Castleton in Derbyshire in order to better understand the ages and relationships of the Beach Beds and boulder beds, both of which have been the subject of varying interpretations in the past. It is concluded that the Beach Beds are a small surface outcrop of an extensive Brigantian age basinal calciturbidite sourced from bioclastic grainstone shoals which fringed much of the platform margin. The boulder bed is younger than the Beach Beds, though still Brigantian in age. It represents a small part of a carbonate megabreccia which is also extensive in the basin. It is thought to result from local tectonic oversteepening of the platform margin. Attention is also drawn to the fissures beneath the boulder bed. The study finds that these formed earlier than the boulder beds and they contain eroded remnants of a horizon of phosphatised limestone, the source and age of which is unknown. These fissures may provide evidence for a period of deposition otherwise unrecorded on the platform."

That sounds really

That sounds really interesting. Could I get a PDF or Word version to read? Feel free to say no if you don't want other folk to read it! Smiling face

I'll email a copy to you.

I'll email a copy to you. I'll need to scan a diagram first though as one of my figures was hand drawn & photocopied on the version I handed in. Might not be able to do that til early next week though.
