On the Sliding or Slumping of Submarine Sediments in Denbighshire, North Wales, during the Ludlow Period

Abstract

In a paper published by the Liverpool Geological Society in 1932, Professor P. G. H. Boswell directed attention to an area in the neighbourhood of Llangerniew in north-western Denbighshire wherein structures of great geological interest are exhibited. The area forms part of the Denbighshire Moors, the geology of which has been described by the same author and others (Boswell 1926, 1928 a, b, 1932, 1935 a, b; Boswell and Double 1934). Members of the Geologists' Association visited the region under the guidance of Professor Boswell during the Easter excursion, 1935, and in connexion with that visit a general account of the geology of the region was published, followed by a report of the Field Meeting (Boswell 1935 a, b).
