Description
A comprehensive field guide to the geology of Western Ireland, covering the region's unique rock record from the Neoproterozoic to the Devonian periods. This book provides detailed itineraries and supporting data for studying the geological processes that shaped the area, including continental rifting, subduction, and island arc evolution.
Spanning nine chapters, the guide covers a range of topics, from the Laurentian basement and Neoproterozoic cover of North Mayo and Sligo, to the post-orogenic Carboniferous cratonic sediments. The book also includes an introduction to the geology, as well as summaries of the current tectonic interpretation of the region and areas for future research.
With its focus on the geological processes and processes that have shaped Western Ireland, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the Earth sciences, geology, and physics.
