SUMMARY:Lickey Hills Geo Walk
DESCRIPTION:A free guided walk for all the familyThe history of the Earth is written in the rocks beneath your feet.Your guide will take you back almost 500 million years to an ancient shoreline\, when Britain lay in the southern hemisphere. You will explore the evidence for the convulsions the rocks suffered as Britain collided with North America\, and see pebbles washed by rivers from France and deposited in a desert only 250 million years ago.Meet at the Lickey Hills Country Park Visitor Centre in time for a 10.30 start. No booking necessary. The walk is about 1.5 miles and may be rough and muddy in places.

SUMMARY:Talk: Mike Benton. :‘Dinosaurs: New Visions of a Lost World’
DESCRIPTION:Mike Benton. :‘Dinosaurs: New Visions of a Lost World’ \n\n\n\nThis lecture will be held at St Francis of Assisi in Kenilworth. We will also attempt to share this on Zoom for those unable to make it in person. We will be trying out new technology and may incur technical hitches\, therefore we recommend attending in person if at all possible.    \n\n\n\nPoster     \n\n\n\nZoom Registration \n\n\n\nWGCG is delighted to host this evening lecture by Mike Benton\, bringing some of his latest research on dinosaur appearance and evolution. Dinosaurs are not what you thought they were\, or at least\, they didn’t looklike you think they did. Rapid advances in technology and astounding new fossil finds have changed the way we visualise dinosaurs forever. This talk builds on Prof Benton’s latest book ‘New visions of a lost World’\, which isillustrated by acclaimed palaeoartist Bob Nicholls\, to display the latest and most exciting dinosaur discoveries in vibrant colour. Bob Nicolls also produced the Mid-Triassic and Jurassic reconstructions for Warwick Museum\, supported by WGCG. \n\n\n\nMike Benton is an award-winning professor of vertebrate palaeontology in the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol. His extensive published work has concentrated on the evolution of Triassic reptiles\, but hehas also worked on extinction events and faunal changes in the fossil record. Mike has written many books on dinosaurs\, including some for children and a non-specialist audience. A rhynchosaur (Bentonyx) is named in his honour! He was appointed OBE in the 2021 Birthday Honours for services to palaeontology and community engagement.

SUMMARY:The Kilchrist Caldera\, Skye (Zoom & KMC)
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Simon Drake. Hybrid meeting at KMC and via Zoom \n\n\n\n‘Catastrophic caldera forming eruptions spanning the Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum at Kilchrist and Belig\, Isle of Skye\, NW Scotland’ \n\n\n\nHighly silicic Paleocene-Eocene ignimbrite deposits\, and mafic lavas at Kilchrist and Belig\, Isle of Skye\, NW Scotland\, form part of a ~800m thick extensive caldera fill which largely fringes the Eastern Red Hills on Skye. Magma was supplied to the growing caldera via the Moine-related Kishorn Thrust fault\, and ponded against pre-existing Paleocene rocks of the Cuillin and Western Red Hills Centres. Silicic magma reservoirs which fed the Kilchrist Caldera were frequently replenished with basic magma. Such replenishment triggered eruptions.  Later eruptions typically deposited extremely coarse ignimbrites\, demonstrating catastrophic collapse of the caldera. Collapse was followed by caldera resurgence and formation of the Eastern Red Hills Granite Centre. \n\n\n\nWithin the caldera sequence\, ignimbrites at Kilchrist have been dated at 56.15 Ma. This date is precisely coincident with the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). We suggest that the North Atlantic atmospheric temperature increases during the PETM were intimately linked to consumption of surrounding dolostone country rock by the Kilchrist caldera. We calculate such consumption released between ~5.32 – 8.52 Gt of CO2 into the Paleocene atmosphere. Our study provides the first unequivocal evidence of large-scale eruptions within the North Atlantic Igneous Province on the PETM. \n\n\n\nBiography: Simon Drake is a research associate (and former associate lecturer) at Birkbeck College\, University of London and was recently appointed North Downs Way Ambassador leading Geo walks on the North Downs Way and advising re Geopark status. Previously\, Simon was part of the Metropolitan Police working on the Diplomatic Protection Group at Downing Street during the Major and Blair Premierships.

SUMMARY:WGCG Members' Field Visit to Blockley Quarry
DESCRIPTION:Blockley Brickpit (now re-named Wellacre Quarry) is owned by Northcot Brick Ltd.\, who allowparties to visit the site under supervision. Dale Moss will be our guide for the day.The location is near Moreton-in-the-Marsh\, Gloucestershire about a mile NE of Blockley village on the B4479.WGCG Member\, Jon Radley\, has agreed to lead the trip\, and is familiar with the geology and history of thesite.Geology: It is a well known and much celebrated SSSI site\, exposing a small part of the Lower Lias clay\,which is especially well developed at this location. It has been of much scientific importance inestablishing ammonite evolutionary trends\, helping to construct a detailed zonal sequence for theJurassic Period.It is particularly fossiliferous at Blockley\, with many other invertebrate groups also preserved\,offering good possibilities for specimen collecting.However\, be warned that the site is muddy (especially if wet). Minimum safety wear requiredby the operators is hi-vis vests\, hard hats and strong protective boots (preferably steel-cappedsafety boots). You should also bring clothing appropriate for the weather expected.Pre-booked WGCG members are asked to assemble at 10.00 a.m. at the entrance to the site. They will need to make their own travel arrangements in accordance with whatever Covid arrangements are in force at the time of our visit. We hope to be able to spend up to around 4-5 hours on the site….until “mid afternoon” (? 3 p.m. max).Members will need to provide their own picnic lunch / drinks and collecting paraphernalia! For once\, theuse of hammers on loose material is permitted. \n\n\n\nPlease note that places are limited to 20 overall\, and we have also invited BCGS members to attend. Initially the first 15 places will be offered to WGCG members in strict order of application. Please indicate if you wish to be placed on a waiting list if further places become available. For insurance purposes\, you must be a fully paid up member of WGCG or BCGS.WGCG membership is open to all and is free for those in full-time education.The info. shown here is a summary.

SUMMARY:Talk: Mary Anning\, The Fossil Woman by Tom Sharpe
DESCRIPTION:Mary Anning\, Courtesy of The Geological Society.\n\n\n\n\n\nMary Anning collecting with her father (An1869 image)\n\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction: It has been said that more has been written about Mary Anning\, the fossil dealer of Lyme Regis\, than about any other geologist\, apart from Charles Darwin. But how much do we really know? How much is speculation? And how much is myth that has developed through the uncritical telling and retelling of her tale over the course of two centuries? Are we seeing a new Anning myth in the making\, thanks to a recent film? Separating the facts from the fictions about Mary Anning can be challenging\, but her story is a remarkable tale in its own right. This talk will examine what we know of the life of this extraordinary woman\, her famous – and less well-known – discoveries\, and her part within the wider network of the developing science of palaeontology in the early nineteenth century\, and will seek to dispel at least a few of the Mary myths. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPicture by Mary Anning in 1823 of her plesiosaur.
