AN INTRODUCTION

By Peter Toghill

Hardback with dust jacket
Second hand copy in very good condition
  
The geology of Britain is immensely varied, with rocks representing over 2 billion years of Earth's history. Geologists in Britain were among the first to recognise the importance of dating rocks using fossils and during the nineteenth century fossils from Britain helped set up the geological timescale that is now recognised worldwide.

This beautifully illustrated book describes the geological history of Britain through geological time starting with the oldest rocks in north-west Scotland and finishing with the young sediments of south-east England and those left behind by the most recent Ice Age.
