Abstract
The 1976 summer field meeting of the Geologists' Association was spent in the northeast of England. Nine day-trips from Newcastle covered most aspects of the regional geology and included rocks of Silurian to Pleistocene ages. Silurian greywackes were seen north of Berwick and Old Red Sandstone lavas and pyroclastics in the Cheviot Hills and at Eyemouth. Carboniferous sediments were examined on the Northumberland coast, in the Roman Wall country and in the northern Pennines, from stratigraphical, palaeontological, sedimentological and structural points of view. The Whin sills and dykes were viewed on Holy Island, at Bamburgh and Barrasford. A day was spent on the unique Permian rocks of County Durham and another considering the effects of the Pleistocene glaciation.
