FIELD GEOLOGY ON THE LIZARD PENINSULA, CORNWALL
4 day course 17th - 20th June 2012
Tutor: Dr Nick Chidlaw
This course examines the field evidence for the assertion that the Lizard Complex is composed of the remains of ancient ocean crust, metamorphosed in a plate tectonic collision zone and brought into contact with altered deep water sediments (including some formed in underwater landslides), discrete igneous intrusions and slices of older crustal basement. Varieties of the mineral serpentine, for which the Lizard is famous, will be examined. No prior knowledge of geology or the area is assumed.
The course (which involves some fairly painless assessment) is being offered through the Centre for Lifelong Learning, Cardiff University.
