Geology in the City

[for an advert-free version of this web-page click here]

We don't have to go out into the field to study geology, it is all around us. All the building materials we use have a geological origin, and some exotic and interesting rocks are used on shop fronts, important buildings and monuments.
This site will tell you about some of the rock types you may find and show you what they look like.
