A Field Guide to the Carboniferous Sediments of the Shannon Basin, Western Ireland

Book Description
The Carboniferous Shannon Basin of Western Ireland has become one of the most visited field areas in the world. It provides an ideal opportunity for examining a wide range of ancient sedimentary environments, including carbonate shelf, reefs and mud mounds, black shales and phosphates, and a spectrum of deep sea, shallow marine, fluvio-deltaic and alluvial siliciclastic sediments. The area boasts extensive outcrops and some of the most renowned sections through turbidites, large-scale soft sediment deformation features and sediments that display a response to tectonic and sea-level controls. This field guide provides the first synthesis of the principal localities in this area of Western Ireland, and presents an easily accessible handbook that will guide the reader to, and within, a wide range of sedimentary facies, allowing an understanding of the evolving nature of the fill of this Carboniferous basin and the context of its sedimentary and tectonic evolution. The guide summarizes recent and new work in the area by a range of authors and outlines issues of current debate concerning the Shannon Basin and its palaeoenvironmental interpretation. The field guide will find extensive use in teaching and research by academic researchers, professional and amateur geologists, as well as by applied geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers who use these outcrops as analogues for subsurface reservoirs in many areas of the world.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1878 edition. Excerpt: ...behind which are lagoons and salt marshes; while farther south it has filled up portions of nearly all the bays, and on it there are now accumulations of jEolian drift, margined by the old sea cliffs. In the vicinity of Wexford Harbour it is seen in the ravines occupied by the Blackwater and other streams. On the south coast it has been observed in the Ballyteigue lagoon (now an Intake), between Ballyteigue and Bannow; in the Bannow estuary, near Fethard and elsewhere; in the estuary of the Suir, where it has been described by Captain Austen (London Geol. Soc. Proc, page 360); in Tramore lagoon; in the estuary of the Lee (Cork Harbour), especially about Inishmore, and in some of the smaller bays. To the west it is conspicuous among the islands and promontories of west Cork, and it joins Crookhaven Island to the mainland; while it has been observed in places near the heads of the bays in Cork, Kerry, Galway, Mayo, and Sligo, it having formed rich land in the estuary of the Shannon (corcasses, or meadows), and on the middle island of Aran, Galway Bay, it occurs as a shellgravel beach. To the north it does not appear to be so well seen, as it has been more or less cut away by the encroachment of the sea; but on the N. and NE. coasts of Antrim it occurs as caves a little above high-water mark, as pointed out by Portlock. Near Larne it is very interesting, as mentioned hereafter. It also occurs on the east coast, between Belfast and Dublin, where its existence has been shown by Du Noyer, Traill, and others. Usually this beach is below the 12-foot contour line, but in some of the estuaries it rises to the 16 or even about the 22-feet contour line, as in Carlingford Bay, where the gravels contain flint implements; its rises and falls, apparently...
