| Stone, P. 2014. Recent contributions on Falkland Islands bedrock geology, with an inventory of representative lithostratigraphical specimens held by the British Geological Survey. British Geological Survey Internal Report, OR/14/040. |
This report arises from onshore geological investigations in the Falkland Islands, South Atlantic Ocean, carried out by the British Geological Survey on behalf of the Department of Mineral Resources, Falkland Islands Government. It provides background information on geological discoveries that have been made since completion of the Falkland Islands geological mapping project (1996–1998) and the publication of the ensuing map and report (1998, 1999). Some of the results mentioned arose from academic research and some from work by the author as part of a geological consultancy programme, led by Dr Phil Richards, supporting onshore mineral prospecting and offshore hydrocarbon exploration. Details are appended of a representative suite of specimens illustrating the onshore lithostratigraphy that is now held in the collections of the British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK.
