For an ever-so-slightly delayed (cough) blog update we’re off to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, or to be precise, the wonderfully named Norber.
Norber is a classic type locality for a glacial erratic, a piece of rock that is different from those surrounding it due to having been transported by ice. Here, boulders of cross-bedded Silurian greywacke perch on pedestals of Carboniferous limestone after being plucked from the valley floor and and being transported both downstream and up the sides of the valley by glacial action.
