After running some solo errands in Potsdam I sat down to enjoy glass of wine in the evening sun… and spotted this wonderful Muschelkalk (German Trias) ooid limestone piece in (!) the pavement 🙂

The monument is carved from red sandstone in the Mughal architectural style. It is a pillar with lotus bud finial. The upper section is tetragonal with vertical blank cartouches. The lower section is a column with a central floral motif. There is a plinth of red sandstone and this rests on a very eroded plinth of (English) yellow sandstone.

The memorial of the lawyer Daboda Dewajee in Kensal Green Cemetery. It is carved from a block of red Bhander Sandstone, probably from the Dholpur region of Rajasthan. This sandstone from the Vindhyan Basin is a Global Heritage Stone and this is a remarkable use of it here in London #urbangeology

Public toilets at Maida Hill Market are clad in reclaimed and reused igneous plutonic rocks; red rapakivi granite from Finland and Norwegian larvikite. You can still see the plug marks on several blocks showing the quarrying technique. Cities need public loos! #urbangeology #reuse #reclaim #london

A fossil favosites coral pebble with a distinctive honeycomb surface occurs amongst smaller flint pebbles in an orange-brown coloured, iron oxide rich sandy gravel.

A fossil favosites coral pebble with a distinctive honeycomb surface occurs amongst smaller flint pebbles in an orange-brown coloured, iron oxide rich sandy gravel.

Here in the UK, the Faringdon Sponge Gravels (Aptian, Cretaceous) are used for making hoggin paths. They contain abundant fossils, often derived from older strata. Here a fossil Favosites coral peeps through the hoggin path in Gordon Square Gardens in Bloomsbury #urbangeology #london

Cibber’s panel on the monument. At the bottom left London personified sits slumped on rubble whilst the fire rages above her. On the left King Charles II orders her resurrection and above him, men are working on scaffold rebuilding the city

A fabulous day for an #urbangeology walk yesterday. We started at my favourite piece of public sculpture, the panel on the plinth of The Monument, carved in the 1670s by Caius Gabriel Cibber in #PortlandStone. Thanks to everyone who came along!

Some elderly Czech lady asked what I was doing, in Czech, and I explained. I guess she at least understood the word "fossil".😉

Poster for trip. Text reads ‘The 12th-13th century Cistercian Abbey of Strata Florida in Ceredigion is built from imported stone in addition to the local greywackes. Some of these freestones were also used for Llanbadarn church.

Morning: Strata Florida Abbey. Introduction to the local and building stone geology by Tim and Ruth. We will then explore the abbey site to identify the different stone types in situ and their reuse in later buildings.

Lunch Picnic at Strata Florida or lunch at The Black Lion, Pontrhydfendigaid.

Afternoon: Llanbadarn Church. Imported stones are also seen in the fabric of the church. The interior also reveals a C12th Purbeck marble font, and a C10th Celtic stone carved from granodiorite from Cader Idris.

Logistics Strata Florida is 19 miles from Aberystwyth and best visited by car. A taxi ride for 4 people from Aberystwyth railway station to Strata Florida would take 1⁄2 hour and cost approximately £40. A return taxi to Llanbardarn Fawr would cost a similar amount. The church is a 25 minute walk from the railway station.
