About this Event
Death is an essential part of geology. Without it there would be no fossils, no mass extinctions and as a result certainly no "us"! However this talk looks at our perhaps unintentional fixation with rocks that has almost always gone hand in hand with ceremony and burial. You will find our cemeteries are a truly wonderful geological treasure trove!
As a geologist since the 1960s Andy has worked in Cornwall, South Wales and Africa. For the past 40 years he has been teaching geology at various levels in Sunderland and is still trying to retire despite the best efforts of his students!)
