Purbeck Project CD and Post Cards
The
Dorset RIGS group (DIGS) has produced an educational CD on the geology, landscape
and stone industry of Purbeck. It consists of a series of PowerPoint presentations
based on five RIGS sites in Purbeck. Apart from a detailed survey of the five
sites including logging, there is information on another site in Dorset where
Purbeck strata are exposed and the environmental conditions experienced when the
Purbeck strata were deposited. The CD can be used at various levels being well
illustrated with pictures of Purbeck landscape, quarries and specimens that have
been found locally. The work was carried out over 3 years as a result of the DIGS
group's involvement with the Keystone Project through Purbeck District Council
and supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The CD has been made available free
to Dorset schools and is available to other interested parties for £5 including
P& P.
3 Great reconstruction postcards are also available from Alan
at 25p each.
Cheques made payable to D.I.G.S.
