Isle of Skye Four days – 28 June – 1 July 2024 This field trip provides an opportunity to observe and discuss the stratigraphy and sedimentology of tidally influenced deltas and tidal sandsheets that were deposited in the NE Atlantic Seaway in the Middle Jurassic. We will focus on key sections at the type site at Bearreraig Bay and Glasnakille on Skye, and Screapadal on Rassay. The outcrops, on the far west coast of Scotland, are also uniquely placed to offer a window into the wider passive margin geology of the NE Atlantic. £525.00 per person Led by Ron Steel – UT Austin, Texas and Stuart Archer – Harbour Energy
