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!
Best wishes,

Subject: Sandbox experiment movies
Dear all,
I
am giving a lecture in ”Geology for non-geologists,” and for that I
would have liked to include some sandbox experiment videos of fault growth and
fault development. 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.
Best
regards
Halvor
