Dear all,
I am a PhD student investigating the Internal structure and Geo-mechanics of faults cutting coal measures and currently searching for additional field sites. To date I have been concentrating on the UK Carboniferous, with field sites north
of Whitely Bay in Northumberland and at Spireslack SCM, Ayrshire. I plan to do fieldwork on the Howick fault in Northumberland, however, I wondered if anyone had any suggestions for additional outcrops where faulted coal is visible. I am of particular interest
in outcrops where fault rock (gouge, breccia, lenses etc.) has been developed and faults which have offsets above 5 meters.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions,
