SUMMARY:GeoWeek: Walk 600 million years in 20-minutes at the Brandon Marsh GeoWall – Sunday 5 May
DESCRIPTION:GeoWeek: Walk 600 million years in 20-minutes at the Brandon Marsh GeoWall. \n\n\n\nIn just a few paces\, visitors can walk through time from local volcanic rocks of 600 million years ago to newer limestone of only 145 million years old. Warwickshire’s varied geology tells a good story. It is collected together in the Geology Wall at the Brandon Marsh wildlife visitor centre. The wall was designed and built by members of the Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group (www.WGCG.co.uk). \n\n\n\nCome any time from 10:30 amto 4:00 pm on Sunday 5th May 2019 and see the rocks and hear their story told by members of the Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group (WGCG).  They look forward to answering your questions. \n\n\n\n• Puzzled by a rock or a fossil? Bring it along. See if we can tell you what it really is. \n\n\n\n• Take the time to look at the two interpretation boards alongside the wall telling how the earth has changed in the last 600 million years. \n\n\n\nTalk Times: 11.00 and 11.30 am\, 12.00\, 12.30\, 1.30\, 2.00\, 2.30 and 3.00 pm. Standard entry charges to Brandon Marsh\, WWT members free entry. \n\n\n\nDiscover the whole story told by the GeoWall at Brandon Marsh on 5th May

SUMMARY:GeoWeek: Rock solid evidence that Jurassic Park came to Banbury – Tuesday 7 May\, 7 pm
DESCRIPTION:Led by Norman Dutton\, A guided geological tour of Banbury town centre (approx 1 hour) Tuesday 7th May\, Evening\, Banbury\, Meet at Town Hall for 7 pm No need to book ahead. This tour will take you round many of the buildings in Banbury\, Oxfordshire\, which have used natural stone in their construction. The rocks are mostly of Jurassic age and reveal what the area was like over 170 million years ago. Their high fossil content means that you will probably see more fossils here than on a visit to the Jurassic Coast. \nThe tour will last around 1 hour and end at St. Mary’s Church. It is offered free by the Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group as part of GeoWeek\, a national initiative to introduce members of the public to geoscience. \n \nBanbury town geological walk example facing stones \n\n  \n \nBelemnite on view in Banbury town geological walk

SUMMARY:GeoWeek: Gold in them thar Burton Dassett hills? Yes! Fool’s Gold! – Sunday 12 May 10:30 am
DESCRIPTION:Why are the Burton Dassett Hills there? What’s in them? Who dug? When? Why? Are they magnetic? What’s that tower for? \nSunday 12th May\, Burton Dassett Hills\, Meet 10.30 at Car Park near the Tower (approx 1-2 hours) With the WGCG – All-day parking £2. \nThe views are great but what’s this ‘outlier’ beneath your feet? How come those hills are still there after millions of years and English weather erosion? And what’s the truth about ‘outlier’? Fault lines? Are there any? Did they cause an earth tremor or earthquake? Do we still get earth tremors in Warwickshire? If\, Yes\, why? Find out more and hear from Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group (www.WGCG.co.uk) geologist John Crossling assisted by volunteers. \nThe group will explore the various geological horizons exposed across the hills and work out past environments and relationships between the exposed features.  They will also work out a structural surprise that is not immediately obvious. \nJohn will lead the walk to see fossils and talk about the geology\, industrial archaeology and changing economics which brought mineral extraction to an end. Which mineral? Which metal? How did it get there?  John is always ready to chat about rocks\, fossils and geology.\n\nPuzzled by a rock or a fossil? Bring it along. Let’s see if we can define what it really is.\n\nThe walk offered free by the Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group as part of GeoWeek\, a nationwide initiative that seeks to introduce the public to parts of their local landscape\, shaped over millions of years by geological processes.\n\n \nBurton Dassett Hills tower
