Editorial, 1pp.
The publications of the Shropshire Geological Society have evolved since the
Society's formation in 1979 from a brief Newsletter, joined by the Proceedings
in 1981, through the growth (in both size and coverage) of the Newsletter
through the 1990s leading to suspension of the Proceedings, to the explosion of
geological activity at the present day with the web as well as the printed word
available for recording the Society's activities.

Pannett, D. (2006).
Building stones in the churches and church yards of the Stretton Hills. 3pp.
The field excursion which met at Craven Arms on May 15th 2004 focused on
churches around the Stretton Hills, since this area is already well known for
its complex geology and associated landscape patterns, which might be expected
to be reflected in the choice of building stones. Geology and local history have
made each of the churches different, but they nevertheless reveal some common
trends. Three of them (St Laurence Church Stretton, St James Cardington, and St
Peter Rushbury) still have Norman naves built of very locally derived rubble,
later enlarged with better quality stone from fewer, specialised quarries.
Meanwhile, the church of St Margaret at Acton Scott persevered in its use of the
stone won from its own local and unique outcrop of Ordovician limestone.
Implications for conservation are discussed and the role of render is
considered. |

Field Meeting Report: Bromfield Sand and Gravel Pit, nr Ludlow, Shropshire,
led by Ed Webb, 22nd April 2005. 6pp.
Exposures were examined of a thick sequence of fluvioglacial sediments which are
being actively extracted for building materials and construction aggregates. The
bedrock geology is the Raglan Mudstone Formation (the Downtonian of the Pridoli
Stage at the top of the Silurian), and is hundreds of metres in thickness. The
Pleistocene superficial geology comprises well-bedded sandy gravels with
occasional thin beds of sand. There appears to be very little silt or clay
except at the base, where some 0.1 m of red-brown laminated silty clay occurs.
The sandy gravels have the appearance of having been deposited by moving water,
probably a braided river. The laminated silty clay appears to have been
deposited within still water, possibly on a lake bed. The likelihood is that
these deposits have been transported by glacial ice and then washed out by
meltwater to be laid down by braided rivers; the earliest (lowest) part of the
sequence might have been sedimented as a deltaic deposit within a temporary
glacial lake (the thin clay at the base may represent a lake-bed mud). Some very
large boulders have been encountered at the bottom of the fluvioglacial sequence
at Bromfield, for which the name "tobogganite" has been suggested, with the
implication of rafting across compacted snow.

Rosenbaum, M.S. & Wilkinson, W.B. (2006). A geological
trail for Titterstone Clee and Clee Hill. 31pp.
The geological trail of Titterstone Clee and Clee Hill was designed as a guide
to lead the geological visitor through the evidence in the ground, tracing over
one hundred million years of Earth history from the end of the Silurian when
life was just beginning to become established on land, 419 Ma, through the
Devonian to the later stages of the Carboniferous, 300 Ma. The Trail also
reveals evidence on the ground of the effects of the Quaternary Ice Age,
particularly the Devensian Stage which saw the last great advance of the glacial
ice across northern and western Britain from 120,000 to just 11,000 years before
present.
