DEATH OF AN OCEAN: A GEOLOGICAL BORDERS BALLAD

by Euan Clarkson; Brian Upton

Published by Dunedin Academic Press Ltd.. 1st. 2010

Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. The Scottish Borders, drained mainly by the River Tweed and its tributaries, is famed for its historical legacy and attendant myths and ballads. The authors here tell of how the once great ocean of Iapetus met its end through the inexorable motion of the tectonic plates bringing the continental masses on either side of it onto a collision course. The impact of these continents spelled the death-knell for Iapetus and formed the Caledonide mountain chain. Matt pictorial boards. Colour illustrations.

Light scuffing to dustwrapper.
