Pine Point: Origin and Exploration

Synopsis

The Pine Point deposit has long served as a site on which geologists have tested a variety of models of lead-zinc ore emplacements. The evidence for a number of these models is examined, and experiments in the field, along with animations, are used to put forward a consensus of opinion on the origins of this deposit. The programme follows the exploration programme to find new ore bodies.

Notes

NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
