Dear Halvor, and all, Two videos of analogue thrust experiments are available on: http://www.see.leeds.ac.uk/structure/assyntgeology/extra_info/movies/cadell/index.htm The website as a whole deals with the Moine Thrust and it's history of research in the 19th century. The website was built by Rob Butler, with help and material from BGS - have a look throughout the site to see if there's more material you want to use for your lecture - maybe the photo's are usefull too (Home Page --> More info) ? The experiments themselves are recreations of the original experiments performed by Henry Cadell in the 1880's. The materials used are foundry sand (the black stuff), slightly wetted Plaster of Paris, and possibly clay (the brown layers). By all means downlaod the videos and use them, For the rest of you: by all means use these videos for your student lectures!

These videos are very good to illustrate the nature of faults and their development and features for non-geologists. I have searched the web, but found only two videos in low quality. I therefore ask if anyone in this community have any such video clips from their own research that they which to share for the purpose outlined above? The video clips will be used and administrated by me only, and not distributed further. Appropriate reference and acknowledgement will of course be highlighted. Further, if someone also has any movies illustrating sediment deposition and / or oil migration and accumulation, they too would be most appreciated! Please reply to me directly.
