Interpreting Sediments

Synopsis: Much of Britain’s countryside is underlain by beds of sand and gravel. By studying the structures within these beds and the detailed nature of their grain shape and mineralogy, a great deal can be determined about the rocks from which they were derived and the past environment of the area in which they were deposited. A visit to a sand quarry in Bedfordshire demonstrates how field evidence is gathered and recorded in the form of a graphic log.
