Map based index (GeoIndex) rock samples

The map shows the localities where samples that form part of the BGS rock collections have been taken. Many of these samples are from surface exposure, and were collected by BGS geologists during...

Poole Rocks Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) - Stills - 2013

A series of 436 seabed images collected at Poole Rocks. The data were collected for the Marine Conversation Zones Project funded by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

Poole Rocks Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) - Video - 2013

42 videos interpreted from seabed video footage taken at Poole Rocks. The data were collected for the Marine Conversation Zones Project funded by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural...

Coroners Statistics

This annual bulletin presents statistics on the workload of coroners in England and Wales. Information is provided on the number of deaths reported to coroners, post-mortem examinations and...

Poole Rocks Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) - PSA Data - 2013

26 PSA samples collected at Poole Rocks. The data were collected for the Marine Conversation Zones Project funded by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

Phosphorus speciation and metal abundances in mafic and ultramafic rocks

The dataset includes abundances of phosphorus redox species (phosphate, phosphite, pyrophosphate) and metal abundances for a collection of mafic and ultramafic rocks. These include peridotites,...

IGI Source Rock Potential of the East Shetland Platform

Evaluation of the source rock potential of the East Shetland Platform including an interpretation report, a geochemical database, 1-D modelling input data and results and a comprehensive literature...

IGI Source Rock Potential of the East Shetland Platform

Evaluation of the source rock potential of the East Shetland Platform including an interpretation report, a geochemical database, 1-D modelling input data and results and a comprehensive literature...

2016 Keith Hiscock Lundy Intertidal Survey of Gannet's Rock

Keith Hiscock, Sarah Fowler, Greg Lingard, and Esther Hughes surveyed the granite boulder intertidal community at Gannet's Rock, Lundy. The aim of the survey was to re-survey the place where...

Petrological rock sample collection record sheets

Archive of rock collector's record sheets, giving details of what samples were collected for, petrographic characterisation and storage in the BSG petrological collections. The proformas record...

Nitrogen geochemistry data of extrusive igneous rocks from Hekla volcano, Iceland

The data set contains major, trace element, and stable isotope (Si, Zn, Mo, V, Tl, Zr) from previous studies and new nitrogen abundance and stable isotope values for 17 samples spanning a range of...

Digital Models of Heterogeneous Sandstone and Carbonate Rock Cores

This dataset contains digital models of three carbonate (Indiana limestone, Estaillades limestone and Edwards Brown Dolomite) and two sandstone (Bentheimer and Bunter) cores with varying degrees of...

Prediction of outcrops or subcrops of rock in UK shelf seabed (public)

Prediction of the presence of rock at outcrop or subcrop at the seabed across the UK shelf area. This shapefile was produced through a semi-automated approach, using a Random Forest model combined...

Gorst Road petrographic archival rock specimen collection

Named after the former BGS sample store at Gorst Road, London, this archival collection of c.600 rocks is made up of a series of sub-collections donated by past senior members of the Geological...

The BGS Lexicon of Named Rock Units

The Lexicon of Named Rock Units provides definitions of lithostratigraphic, lithodemic, and litho-morpho-genetic geological units of the United Kingdom and its associated continental shelf. The...

Understanding the Micro-to-Macro Behaviour of Rock-Fluid Systems - M2M

The M2M Thematic Programme funded 17 scientific investigation projects leading to more unified physical understanding of fluid flow distributions in heterogeneous rock. The programme focused on...

Scaling Properties of Fluid Flow in Fractured Rocks

This proposal is to test the hypothesis that secondary (crack) porosity can be treated as a scaling problem in both fracture and fluid percolation theory. This will be achieved by measurements of...

2016 Keith Hiscock Lundy Intertidal Survey of Gannet's Rock

Keith Hiscock, Sarah Fowler, Greg Lingard, and Esther Hughes surveyed the granite boulder intertidal community at Gannet's Rock, Lundy. The aim of the survey was to re-survey the place where...

BGS Petrological Rock Samples from Overseas Surveys and Projects

Rocks, thin sections and paper registers: samples from past BGS surveys and projects overseas. Though neglected for several years, the collection has been re-opened for addition of new material...

Miscellaneous rocks collection (former museum reserve collection)

Important collection of >37 000 rocks of historic and scientific value, incorporating the Former Reserve collection of the Geological Museum (South Kensington) but with recent additions, and...
