...Adrian Rushton © 2008 Cambridge University Press 2008 Set in the midst of the green cultivated land of the English Midlands, the rocky knolls and jagged outcrops of Charnwood Forest are reminiscent of parts of Wales. Although much of the land is enclosed, there is a network of public...

... age of the Namibian and Australian fossils could not be confirmed. Indeed, it was widely supposed that macrofossils only occurred in Cambrian or younger strata. In Charnwood Forest, however, the Charnian Supergroup, as it was subsequently named ( Moseley & Ford 1985 ), had long been known...

...Philip M. Scotney; John N. Carney; Mark Harwood Summary Detailed investigations utilizing borehole drilling, geophysical techniques and revision mapping have elucidated the geological evolution of southern Charnwood Forest. This study confirms that the South Charnwood Diorite was emplaced in latest...

...J. N. CARNEY; P. ALEXANDRE; M. S. PRINGLE; T. C. PHARAOH; R. J. MERRIMAN; S. J. KEMP Abstract 40 Ar– 39 Ar dating by a combination of spot analysis and step-heating has been carried out on mica fabrics from slaty cleavage and a shear zone in the Neoproterozoic to Cambrian rocks of Charnwood Forest...

...D. N. Whitcombe; P. K. H. Maguire Abstract Results from two seismic refraction profiles radiating NE and SW from the Precambrian Charnian block of Charnwood Forest in the central Midlands of England are described and interpreted using surface geology, borehole, aeromagnetic and gravity data...

...D. N. Whitcombe; P. K. H. Maguire Abstract Results from a 40-km seismic refraction profile crossing a series of positive gravity anomalies extending across the postulated mouth of the Widmerpool Gulf are reported. A refractor with a similar velocity to the Precambrian rocks of Charnwood Forest dips...

...M. Y. Meneisy; J. A. Miller Abstract "Potassium-argon age measurements made on samples of rock from Charnwood Forest and surrounding districts indicate that the porphyroids and syenites probably date from late pre-Cambrian times. The area was affected by both the Caledonian and Hercynian orogenies...

...P. K. H. MAGUIRE Abstract The results of a deep reflection profile crossing the Precambrian rocks of Charnwood Forest and the postulated buried Caledonian Mountsorrel granodiorite in central England are reported. A prominent subhorizontal reflector to the NE of Charnwood Forest is suggested...

... and rare examples of Hiemalora , Palaeopascichnus and Yelovichnus . These are taxa found at other sites in the Avalonian microcontinent (e.g. Charnwood Forest and eastern Newfoundland) and in the younger White Sea Ediacaran assemblages. As the Charnwood fossils reflect a deep-water environment...

...Emily G. Mitchell; Charlotte G. Kenchington; Simon Harris; Philip R. Wilby Rangeomorphs dominate the Ediacaran Avalonian macrofossil assemblages of Charnwood Forest, UK (∼562 Ma). However, their unfamiliar fractal architecture makes distinguishing phylogenetically reliable characters from...
