GCR block descriptions: Palaeozoic Stratigraphy 2007

Abstract

Provided here are the Palaeozoic Stratigraphy GCR block descriptions, produced as part of the Geological Conservation Review. These ‘blocks’ provided an overall structure for site selection by ensuring that the different themes of geoheritage or Earth science would receive comparable treatment.

  • Block 5: Arenig - Llanvirn (ARE-LLV);
  • Block 6: Arenig - Tremadoc (ARE-TRE);
  • Block 16: Cambrian (CAM);
