Sir Kingsley Dunham died on 5th April, at the age of 91. This seems truly
like the end of an era for geology and mineralogy, but particularly for us
in the North Pennines, an area which "KCD" studied for over 60 years. I
suspect we shall not see his like again. His Geology of the Northern
Pennine Orefield, first published in 1948, and revised and re-issued in 1990
remains the North Pennine "bible".
