Penfro Till Formation -- nice name, pity about the evidence.....

It's strange that extremely dodgy material can find its way into official records and then be accepted as "established fact" even if there is no evidence in support of it.  A salutary lesson for all of us.......

I have found another reference to the "Penfro Till Formation" in this august publication.

The official BGS citation or record is still unchanged, in spite of me complaining a few years ago that the two cited "partial type sections" at Llandre and West Angle Bay are effectively useless, never having been properly described.  At West Angle, there was a fundamental misunderstanding of the coastal exposure by Dixon and then DQ Bowen, and it appears that nobody can be bothered to correct the records.

This is a key post on this blog, in which I examine the evidence for the "pre-raised beach till deposit" at West Angle, and find it to be seriously defective:

I am used to having a go at English Heritage and the archaeologocal establishment on this blog -- but it appears that the BGS and the geology establishment are not much better at either communicating or getting rid of myths dressed up as facts......
