Deep weathered profiles are developed in igneous basement rocks immediately beneath the Lower Palaeozoic elastic sequences of Alderney, Jersey and northern Brittany. The weathering features are interpreted to have developed during the early Palaeozoic. In western...
Pre-vegetation alluvial fan facies and processes: an example from the Cambro-Ordovician Rozel Conglomerate Formation, Jersey, Channel Islands
Prior to the Silurian a lack of land vegetation is expected to have influenced the processes of sedimentation on alluvial fans, principally by causing increased rates of run-off and erosion in the fan catchments. In the CambroOrdovician Rozel Conglomerate Formation,...
