EXCITING NEW TEACHING RESOURCE!


Produced by Peter Loader, this new series of teaching field guides for areas of the proposed Anglesey Geopark begins with a geological guide to Traeth Bychan and Penrhyn Point.

The sites feature:

•    structure and composition of the Carboniferous Limestone
•    a small igneous intrusion
•    palaeoenvironments  - what this area looked like in the past   e.g. tropical coral sea and evidence of ice.

Other teaching opportunities include identifying true and apparent dip and way-up criteria, together with the opportunity to demonstrate coastal processes. The guide includes worksheets for students.

The guide to Traeth Bychan and Penryn Point is available to download here, in three parts, in PDF format at A4 paper size.
