As a complement to the detailed, technical report on Falkland Islands geology by Aldiss and Edwards (1999)<ref name="Aldiss 1999">ALDISS, D T, and EDWARDS, E J. 1999. The Geology of the Falkland Islands. ''British Geological Survey Technical Report'', WC/99/10. 135pp.</ref>, a shorter and more popular account was prepared by Stone and others (2005)<ref name="Stone 2005">STONE, P, ALDISS, D A, and EDWARDS, E J. 2005. ''Rocks and Fossils of the Falkland Islands''. British Geological Survey for Department of Mineral Resources, Falkland Islands Government.Keyworth, Nottingham. 60pp.</ref>. In this booklet it was possible to introduce some recent discoveries that had not been available to Aldiss and Edwards, such as the archaeocyaths from the limestone clasts in the Fitzroy Tillite Formation, and the bivalve fossils from the Brenton Loch Formation. A shorter popular article describing the essentials of Falkland Islands geology was published by Stone (2010)<ref name="Stone 2010">STONE, P. 2010. The geology of the Falkland Islands. Deposits Magazine, Vol. 23, 38–43. </ref>.

Historical aspects of the geological exploration of the Falkland Islands have arisen from newly discovered archive material and the re-examination of museum specimen collections. The way in which the museum fossil collections were acquired, and then utilised in the continental drift debate of the early 20th century, was described by Stone and Rushton (2012)<ref name="Stone 2012">STONE, P, and RUSHTON, A W A. 2012. The pedigree and influence of fossil collections from the Falkland Islands: from Charles Darwin to continental drift. Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association, Vol. 123, 520–532.</ref>. The contributions made by Bartholomew Sulivan to Charles Darwin’s (1846)<ref name="Darwin 1846">DARWIN, C R. 1846. On the geology of the Falkland Islands. ''Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London'', Vol. 2, 267–274.</ref> account of the geology of the Falkland Islands were discussed by Stone and Rushton (2013)<ref name="Stone 2013">STONE, P. 2013. Mesozoic dyke swarms of the Falkland Islands (South Atlantic). ''British Geological Survey Open Report'', OR/13/026. 11pp.</ref>. The geological interpretations made by David Ferguson in 1913–1914, during the first mineral prospecting exercise in the Falklands, were assessed by Stone and Faithfull (2013a<ref name="Stone 2013a">STONE, P, and FAITHFULL, J. 2013a. David Ferguson’s mineral prospecting visit to the Falkland Islands, 1913–1914. The Falkland Islands Journal, Vol. 10 (2), 6–24.</ref>, 2013b<ref name="Stone 2013b">STONE, P, and FAITHFULL, J. 2013b. The mineral prospecting expeditions to the South Atlantic islands and Antarctic Peninsula region made by the Scottish geologist David Ferguson, 1912–1914. ''Scottish Journal of Geology''. Vol. 49, 59–77.</ref>). In addition to these substantial papers, short articles celebrating some of the more entertaining and unusual aspects of the geological exploration of the Falkland Islands have appeared regularly in ''Falkland Islands Journal''.
