Detailed stratigraphic sections recorded by the mining industry in Great Britain were first published during the 18 th century. In the northern Pennines, Forster presented the first representative long composite stratigraphic section in 1809. It encompassed the entire known Carboniferous (as it was later named) succession, with the portion representing the lead mining district summarising ‘ a sequence worked out during many centuries of lead mining .’ Three other shorter sections, also compiled from mining industry data and dating to between 1785 and 1800, had been published previously, with limited circulation. While the lateral continuity of the geology results in a broad similarity across all of the early sections, same-scale comparison combined with contemporary accounts constrains locations of the source data. A recent assertion that an unpublished composite section presented by Walton in 1793 to the Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle-on-Tyne was the first ‘ stratigraphical section of the lead mining districts ’ with ‘ Hutchinson, Millar and then Forster later using his work without acknowledgement ’ is shown to be incorrect. The interest of Sir Joseph Banks in the emergence of stratigraphic geology in this period suggests that he may have been the enigmatic ‘A Constant Reader’ who corresponded on the topic of these early sections in the Philosophical Magazine. Forster's 1809 publication was the first concise synthesis of the Pennines Carboniferous, making ‘the miners’ succession’ more widely accessible and providing a basis for later work.

Two previously unrecorded invertebrate trackway types, Kouphichnium . isp. indet. and Kouphichnium cf. arizonae , are described from the Middle Jurassic Saltwick Formation of the Cleveland Basin, Yorkshire. The trackways are considered to have been made by limulids in an interdistributary bay environment.

Echinoids are poorly known from the Devonian of SW England. This report records an external mould of a solitary primary spine in a chert cobble collected from near the site of Wolborough Quarry, SW Devon, a well-known Middle Devonian palaeontological site. However, cherts are rare in Devonian limestones of south Devon and the spine is unusually robust in comparison with those of other Devonian taxa. The cobble is here interpreted as an erratic, most probably an Upper Cretaceous flint, and the spine is identified as Prionocidaris sp. cf. P. vendocinensis (Agassiz &amp; Desor). This is another illustration of the high fidelity possible in fossils preserved in cherts even after reworking.

Three echinoid genera are identified from Visean (Mississippian, Lower Carboniferous) rocks of the Peak District, namely Melonechinus Meek &amp; Worthen, Archaeocidaris M'Coy and Lepidocidaris Meek &amp; Worthen. Even the best preserved specimens from this area only occur as a jumble of plates. Melonechinus etheridgei (Keeping) (Chadian? to Brigantian?) has thick test plates; interambulacral plates are commonly hexagonal; ambulacra include multiple columns of pore pairs; and plate surfaces bear many small secondary tubercles. Archaeocidaris sp. or spp. (Chadian? to Brigantian) has long, robust radioles with a smooth shaft and prominent spinules; associated test plates (mainly interambulacra) are considered coeval. Rare Lepidocidaris sp. (Asbian? to Brigantian), including Archaeocidaris glabrispina (Phillips), is only recognized from rare, smooth radioles; test plates resemble those of Archaeocidaris . Lepidocidaris is only known from the platform carbonate shelf of Derbyshire; other echinoid taxa occur on both the shelf succession and the deeper water carbonate succession deposited adjacent to the shelf.

A magnetometer survey, conducted with the initial aim of delineating the extent of a magnetite-rich orebody within the Teesdale Fault in the Harwood Valley of Upper Teesdale, unexpectedly revealed a Palaeogene remanent magnetization. This is interpreted as reflecting the presence at depth of a hitherto unrecorded section of the Armathwaite–Cleveland Dyke, a member of the Palaeogene Mull Swarm of intrusions. The dyke has now been continuously mapped magnetically from the easternmost outcrop of its Armathwaite section in the South Tyne Valley, near Garrigill, to the westernmost outcrop of the Cleveland section in Ettersgill, Teesdale, where it follows the Teesdale Fault and undergoes a small dextral en-échelon offset. We retain the originally proposed mechanism for the formation of the orebody, by the interaction between Northern Pennine mineralizing fluids and the still hot, recently intruded Permo-Carboniferous Whin Sill and its contact rocks. We find no evidence of a wider distribution of ore, or of Permian magnetization. We conclude that the orebody was emplaced along the Teesdale fault and that its magnetic signature was thermally re-set during the Palaeogene intrusion.

Five Lower Albian (Lower Cretaceous) areoligeracean dinoflagellate cyst species are present in the Carstone Formation at Middlegate Quarry, North Lincolnshire, UK: Canninginopsis monile , Circulodinium deflandrei , Cyclonephelium compactum , Cyclonephelium intonsum and Cyclonephelium longispinatum . The taxonomy of Circulodinium deflandrei is reviewed with respect to 20 measured Carstone specimens. The taxonomy of Cyclonephelium longispinatum is reviewed with respect to 70 measured Carstone specimens and a study of 40 measured specimens from its type material in Site 361, Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 40, offshore southwestern Africa. Circulodinium deflandrei and Cyclonephelium longispinatum have recently been considered by other workers to be junior synonyms, respectively, of Circulodinium hirtellum and Tenua anaphrissa . However, following detailed study of their morphologies, the synonymies are formally rejected here. An emended diagnosis is given for C. longispinatum . A re-assessment of the stratigraphical ranges of taxa co-occurring with the type material of C. longispinatum is consistent with a Late Albian to Early Turonian age range in Site 361.

Ankylosaurs are a characteristic group of dinosaurs recognized by their extensive coverings of dermal bony armour, known as osteoderms, across their bodies. The Oxford Clay Formation (Callovian–Oxfordian, Middle Jurassic) in the UK is important for understanding early ankylosaur evolution as it contains some of the earliest known ankylosaur material, including a cranial osteoderm from the basal-most ankylosaur Sarcolestes (and probable postcranial osteoderms). Here, we describe an isolated osteoderm from the Oxford Clay of Peterborough that exhibits a different morphology to other osteoderms from this formation. The specimen, although incomplete along its transverse axis, measures 52.7 mm by 41 mm. The osteoderm is subrectangular with a concave ventral surface and a low, rounded keel on its dorsal surface that protrudes beyond the posterior margin of the specimen base. This morphology is superficially more similar to the thoracic osteoderms of more derived Cretaceous ankylosaurs from North America (e.g. Borealopelta ), than to Sarcolestes and other Jurassic ankylosaurs (e.g. Dracopelta , Mymoorapelta , Tianchisaurus ), but could represent a currently unknown Sarcolestes morphology. Although its isolated nature prevents reliable identification of the taxon and the body part to which it belonged, the osteoderm nevertheless indicates a larger morphological diversity in the body armour of the earliest ankylosaurs than currently appreciated.

George Tate, draper, postmaster and insurance agent, was not only a renowned civic figure during the mid-nineteenth century in his home town of Alnwick but was also, despite limited schooling, a widely celebrated and influential writer on the geology, biology, archaeology and history of Northumberland and adjacent parts of Scotland. His principal geological interests were wide ranging but in the main were devoted to the stratigraphy and palaeontology of the lower part of the Carboniferous System in his local area. Some of the lithostratigraphical terminology he proposed remained in use into the 1950s and, despite changes in nomenclature, elements of his classification can still be recognized in the modern lithostratigraphy. He put forward much evidence for the intrusive origin of the Whin Sill when it was still regarded by many of his contemporaries as a lava flow. Tate was among the first to describe and discuss the evidence in Northumberland and SE Scotland for the then novel idea that Britain had been subjected to the influence of ice in the recent geological past. His brother and two of his sons attended Edinburgh University and had distinguished professional careers. His nephew, Ralph, inherited much of his uncle's wide interests and became a highly celebrated figure in the development of geology in Australia.

Among the important geological attributes of the small Cumbraes Basin in the southwestern off-shore Midland Valley of Scotland, the 4 km-long, fragmented but well-exposed section through the Devonian–Carboniferous boundary sequence in southern Great Cumbrae island ranks highly. In a continuous short stretch of the south and west coasts, large portions of this sequence are superbly preserved in tide-washed strandline surfaces and in old post-glacial sea cliff. This enhanced exposure leaves no doubt that the outcrops belong to two, immediately successive, members of the Kinnesswood Formation – the lower the Doughend Sandstone, the upper the Foul Port Mudstone – and that they provide some of the best available exposures on which to base description and interpretation. The facies of the fluviatile Doughend Sandstone shares many characteristics with the underlying Kelly Burn Sandstone of the Upper Old Red Sandstone, whereas that of the Foul Port Mudstone is distinct and unusual, attributed to local tectonics, influenced by movements on older and more major fractures such as the Highland Boundary Fault, with sediment accumulation taking place in a playa-lake complex of considerable extent.
