Harold Reading (1924-2019): A tribute from his studentsJoseph A. Cartwright (Univ. Oxford, UK)

The life and achievements of one of the founding fathers of sedimentology,Dr Harold G. Reading, will be celebrated on the first day of the 58th BSRGAnnual Meeting.

Professor Joseph A. Cartwright, a former student,will lead the BSRG community in acknowledging thepivotal role that Harold played in establishing theconcepts of facies analysis and in makingsedimentology a mainsteam geological subject.

His achievements and legacy rundeep in our subject, including ‘thebook’ (Sedimentary Environmentsand Facies), the IAS and the BSRG,all of which were driven by Haroldin his modest, determined anddeeply enduring style.

Please join us in celebratingthe life of an exceptionalman who devoted hisworking life tosedimentology.

USES OF A CARBONATE-EVAPORITE CORE AND HOW TO LOG ONETrevor Burchette (CRG Ltd./ RHUL)

Duration; ~3:30 h lectures + 3 h Core logging exercise Minimum / Maximum participants= 5 / 25

F. Javier Rodríguez-Tovar (Univ. Granada, Spain) & Javier Dorador (RHUL)

APPLICATION OF ICHNOLOGY IN SEDIMENTARY BASIN RESEARCH

Duration; ~4h lectures + 2 h practical sessions Minimum / Maximum participants= 5 / 25

In the petroleum and other industries, borehole corerepresents the only real ground truth against which to calibratemany sorts of theoretical models and more remote physicalobservations. These include conceptual geological models basedon seismic and regional data, petrophysical models concerningreservoir quality and fluid saturations, as well as aspects of rock-typing and reservoir heterogeneity, all of which allow optimumdevelopment of an asset. However, cores really form only one-dimensional samples of the formations being investigated and alarge degree of interpretation and not a little imaginationfounded on geological knowledge are required for theirinterpretation. The workshop is intended for geosciencestudents who have no experience of logging borehole cores, butwho wish to gain some insight into how cores and the datagained from them are used in the petroleum industry.

This workshop focuses on the application of ichnology in sedimentarybasin research with special attention to palaeoecological anddepositional interpretations, and the influence of biogenic structures tosediment features (i.e., porosity & permeability). Main objectives of thecourse will be, to introduce the conceptual framework of ichnology; tolearn about the two main paradigms ichnology as the ichnofabricapproach and the ichnofacies model, and to explore the use of tracefossils in palaeoecological and depositional interpretations, with specialattention to oil exploration and reservoir characterisation.

Thisworkshop considers some of these findings and theirimplication at geological scale, being divided intothree parts; shallow marine; gravitational andbottom currents. So, new perspectives in marinesedimentation and their integration in currentmodels (e.g., source to sink) will be discussed withimplications for academia and industry.

INTRODUCTION TO SEDIMENT CORE DESCRIPTIVE LOGGING

Suzanne Maclachlan & BOSCORF staff (NOC, UK)

Duration; 1 Day Minimum / Maximum participants= 10 / 30

Sedimentary logging is the graphical method for describing a succession of sediments and crucially forms thefoundation of most sediment core analyses. The workshop is intended for geoscience students who have noexperience of logging soft sediment cores, but who wish to gain some insight into how sediment core descriptions canbe used to interpret environmental settings. This is a laboratory-based introductory workshop to sedimentologicalcore logging, smear slide analysis and data visualisation, using examples from the BOSCORF collection to cover a rangeof environments. Included in the day course will be a tour of BOSCORF and NOC.

Logistics: Participants will independently travel to Southampton, to meet at NOC reception 9 am. A light lunch will beprovided (included in the course fee).

10. FIELD TRIPS

Pre-meeting field trip (13th December 2019)PORTISHEAD (UK); A journey from continental to marine in clastic sedimentology.

Leader: Dan Le Heron (Univ. Vienna, Austria) & Amy Gough (RHUL)

Duration= 1 dayMinimum / Maximum participants= 10 / 30

Morning:Portishead

Afternoon: Aust Cliff

Lunch in pub

AimsTo study (i) some excellent outcrops of Late Carboniferous to early Devonian age (Portishead) in the morning and

(ii) Middle to Late Triassic and Jurassic deposits (in Aust Cliff, Gloucestershire- time permitting) in the afternoon.

ItineraryMorning: a traverse from Battery Point to Woodhill Bay, Portishead. Carbonates occur at the Battery Point sections

and include a rich variety of marine fossils, among which crinoids, brachiopods, bivalves, fish scales,eurypterids and a number of different types of ichnofossils occur. Stratigraphically above, and along the coastto the south, an excellent section of cross-bedded sandstones and conglomerates crop out both as tabularbeds and lenticular geometries separated by mudstone beds. Our aim is to study both the carbonates and thesiliciclastic rocks in this classic location. It is hoped that the mix of lithologies and environments will keepeveryone happy, and we can consider the nature of the contact between the two.

Lunch: and ensuing interpretative disagreements, will be at one of the local pubs within short walking distance fromthe outcrops. Lunch at the participants’ own cost.

Afternoon: Time permitting, we will visit the famous Aust Cliff section near the Severn Bridge, which is famous for itsreptile, teeth and fish remains in certain Triassic levels. In spite of the short days in December in Bristol(sunset 16.01 on 13th December) expect to have some good time to visit this section after lunch, providedthat no-one orders 3 course dinners. The Aust Cliff has excellent fossil hunting potential.

LogisticsBus leaves from The Hub, Royal Holloway main campus (Founder’s tennis court), at 8.00 am. Bus to arrive back at

Royal Holloway @18.00 (approx.). Note for safety: We will be studying coastal sections in the vicinity of Portishead.These will be coastal sections along the Bristol Channel. We will time our arrival to be mid tide. Predicted tide timesfor Woodhill Bay on 13th December are: High tide 7.12 am; low tide 2.18 pm. Participants arriving independentlyplease meet at 10 am at the junction between Esplanade Road and Beach Road on the seafront. There should bepublic toilets available.

11. OUTREACH ACTIVITIES

AimsThe non-marine carbonates of the Purbeck limestones were deposited in a shallow lake on the western margin of

the Wessex Basin during its late syn-rift phase. New research at RHUL demonstrates that an early brackish phase ischaracterised by in-situ highly porous thrombolitic microbial mounds. In cross-section, they show tabular-shapedsmall mounds (up to 50 cm high and 1 m across) that constitute large, more complex-shaped mounds (up to 4m highand 18m across). In plan-view these mounds have a circular shape up to 20 m in diameter and are surrounded andonlapped by an inter-mound packstone-grainstone facies. Together those facies are arranged in high-frequencylacustrine cycles capped by paleosols.

Itinerary1st day: Waking up so early will be difficult in a cold winter morning but the rocks we will see are worth it. On this first

day, we will visit 4 disused quarries across the Isle of Portland (2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon).At Portland Bill we will see the transition between marine deposits of the Portland Limestone Group (oolitic

grainstone with marine bivalves) organised in massive beds and lacustrine deposits of the Purbeck LimestoneGroup (wackestone-packstone with peloids and some ostracods) organised in thin laminated beds withpaleosol intercalations.

At Tout Quarry we will have an introduction to the succession with Portland-Purbeck boundary and the basalMupe Member with Skull Cap, Lower Dirt Bed, Hard Cap, Great Dirt Bed, Soft Cap and Cypris Freestones.Overview of microbial mounds, their geometries and their relationships with inter-mound facies.

Lunch at the Lobster Pot (Portland Bill) where the famous local fresh crab sandwich is served. Lunch at theparticipants’ own cost.

At God Nore and Freshwater Bay we will see the basal part of the Purbeck Limestone Group where two sequencesillustrating the development of in-situ microbial mounds (some around tree trunks and branches) in abrackish water lake environment and capped by paleosols.

At Stonefield Quarry we will see pseudo 3-D cross-section view of mounds and architecture and relationship withinter-mound facies.

2nd day:

Lulworth Cove east side we will see plan-view of mounds and folded structures in Lulworth Bay and we will discussnewly discovered offshore circular structure imaged in Weymouth Bay seafloor by multi-beam echo sounder.

Post-meeting field trip (16th – 17th December 2019)Syn-rift lacustrine carbonates: cycles, microbial mounds & brackish-hypersaline facies. Purbeck, Wessex Basin UKLeaders: Arnaud Gallois (CGG, UK) & Dan Bosence (RHUL)
