Notes: A 1868 catalog illustrated with photographs listing the books published by the Arundel Society during it's first twenty years. The Arundel Society was founded at London in 1849 and named after the Earl of Arundel, the famous collector of the Arundel Marbles and one of the first great English patrons and lovers of the arts. The society's purpose was to promote knowledge of the art works of the old Italian, Flemish, and other European masters. Much of the work of the society consisted of publishing chromolithographs of Italian art works, especially fresco paintings, of earlier centuries and raising public awareness for the preservation of these works. The society was discontinued in 1897.

Calcrete paleosol atop horizon of vegemorphs (rhizocretions) at Green Cay, offshore-northwestern San Salvador Island, eastern Bahamas.
The dominant paleosol type on San Salvador Island (& other Bahamian islands) consists of hard, reddish-brown to orangish-brown colored, irregularly-sculpted crusts. These are referred to as calcretes or caliches or terra rosas. Calcrete paleosols cap all of the Pleistocene-aged stratigraphic units, except where removed by erosion. The Holocene-aged units (Hanna Bay Member & North Point Member of the Rice Bay Formation) haven’t been around long enough to develop calcrete paleosols atop their outcrops.
Many Bahamian calcrete paleosols have underlying fossil root structures called vegemorphs, which are terrestrial fossils consisting of irregularly curvilinear, often downward-branching structures having a subcircular cross-section. They represent the position of roots of ancient plants. Vegemorphs are traditionally called rhizoliths or rhizocretions or rhizo-ichnomorphs, or simply “root traces”. The root word of the 1st three terms, “rhizo-”, literally means “roots”. It has been demonstrated that these structures sometimes include the stem portions of ancient plants. In recognition of this, these genetic terms have been replaced by the descriptive term “vegemorph” in the recent Bahamas geology literature. On San Salvador Island, vegemorphs are common below calcrete paleosol horizons and in regressive eolian calcarenite units. These structures are usually preferentially cemented by calcium carbonate. With differential weathering and erosion, the surrounding sediments get removed and the three dimensional morphology of the fossil roots can be easily examined.
The calcrete horizon shown above has been dated to 9.2 ka (early Holocene). It caps a Pleistocene limestone unit that is probably the Owl's Hole Formation, according to John Mylroie.
---------------------------------------
The surface bedrock geology of San Salvador consists entirely of Pleistocene and Holocene limestones. Thick and relatively unforgiving vegetation covers most of the island’s interior (apart from inland lakes). Because of this, the most easily-accessible rock outcrops are along the island’s shorelines.
------------------------------
Stratigraphic Succession in the Bahamas:
Rice Bay Formation (Holocene, <10 ka), subdivided into two members (Hanna Bay Member over North Point Member)
--------------------
Grotto Beach Formation (lower Upper Pleistocene, 119-131 ka), subdivided into two members (Cockburn Town Member over French Bay Member)
--------------------
Owl's Hole Formation (Middle Pleistocene, ~215-220 ka & ~327-333 ka & ~398-410 ka & older)
------------------------------
San Salvador’s surface bedrock can be divided into two broad lithologic categories:
1) LIMESTONES
2) PALEOSOLS
The limestones were deposited during sea level highstands (actually, only during the highest of the highstands). During such highstands (for example, right now), the San Salvador carbonate platform is partly flooded by ocean water. At such times, the “carbonate factory” is on, and abundant carbonate sediment grains are generated by shallow-water organisms living on the platform. The abundance of carbonate sediment means there will be abundant carbonate sedimentary rock formed after burial and cementation (diagenesis). These sea level highstands correspond with the climatically warm interglacials during the Pleistocene Ice Age.
Based on geochronologic dating on various Bahamas islands, and based on a modern understanding of the history of Pleistocene-Holocene global sea level changes, surficial limestones in the Bahamas are known to have been deposited at the following times (expressed in terms of marine isotope stages, “MIS” - these are the glacial-interglacial climatic cycles determined from δ18O analysis):
1) MIS 1 - the Holocene, <10 k.y. This is the current sea level highstand.
2) MIS 5e - during the Sangamonian Interglacial, in the early Late Pleistocene, from 119 to 131 k.y. (sea level peaked at ~125 k.y.)
3) MIS 7 - ~215 to 220 k.y. - late Middle Pleistocene
4) MIS 9 - ~327-333 k.y. - late Middle Pleistocene
5) MIS 11 - ~398-410 k.y. - late Middle Pleistocene
Bahamian limestones deposited during MIS 1 are called the Rice Bay Formation. Limestones deposited during MIS 5e are called the Grotto Beach Formation. Limestones deposited during MIS 7, 9, 11, and perhaps as old as MIS 13 and 15, are called the Owl’s Hole Formation. These stratigraphic units were first established on San Salvador Island (the type sections are there), but geologic work elsewhere has shown that the same stratigraphic succession also applies to the rest of the Bahamas.
During times of lowstands (= times of climatically cold glacial intervals of the Pleistocene Ice Age), weathering and pedogenesis results in the development of soils. With burial and diagenesis, these soils become paleosols. The most common paleosol type in the Bahamas is calcrete (a.k.a. caliche; a.k.a. terra rosa). Calcrete horizons cap all Pleistocene-aged stratigraphic units in the Bahamas, except where erosion has removed them. Calcretes separate all major stratigraphic units. Sometimes, calcrete-looking horizons are encountered in the field that are not true paleosols.
----------------------------
Subsurface Stratigraphy of San Salvador Island:
The island’s stratigraphy below the Owl’s Hole Formation was revealed by a core drilled down ~168 meters (~550-feet) below the surface (for details, see Supko, 1977). The well site was at 3 meters above sea level near Graham’s Harbour beach, between Line Hole Settlement and Singer Bar Point (northern margin of San Salvador Island). The first 37 meters were limestones. Below that, dolostones dominate, alternating with some mixed dolostone-limestone intervals. Reddish-brown calcretes separate major units. Supko (1977) infers that the lowest rocks in the core are Upper Miocene to Lower Pliocene, based on known Bahamas Platform subsidence rates.
In light of the successful island-to-island correlations of Middle Pleistocene, Upper Pleistocene, and Holocene units throughout the Bahamas (see the Bahamas geologic literature list below), it seems reasonable to conclude that San Salvador’s subsurface dolostones may correlate well with sub-Pleistocene dolostone units exposed in the far-southeastern portions of the Bahamas Platform.
Recent field work on Mayaguana Island has resulted in the identification of Miocene, Pliocene, and Lower Pleistocene surface outcrops (see: www2.newark.ohio-state.edu/facultystaff/personal/jstjohn/...). On Mayaguana, the worked-out stratigraphy is:
- Rice Bay Formation (Holocene)
- Grotto Beach Formation (Upper Pleistocene)
- Owl’s Hole Formation (Middle Pleistocene)
- Misery Point Formation (Lower Pleistocene)
- Timber Bay Formation (Pliocene)
- Little Bay Formation (Upper Miocene)
- Mayaguana Formation (Lower Miocene)
The Timber Bay Fm. and Little Bay Fm. are completely dolomitized. The Mayaguana Fm. is ~5% dolomitized. The Misery Point Fm. is nondolomitized, but the original aragonite mineralogy is absent.
----------------------------
The stratigraphic information presented here is synthesized from the Bahamian geologic literature.

A descriptive booklet issued by trade organisation the Cement & Concrete Association detailing the construction of the Medway Bridge, the major prestressed concrete bridge that formed part of the 25 mile section of the M2 motorway that was part of the main route from London to the port of Dover and other north Kent destinations. The bridge has an overall length of 3,272 ft 6" with a central span of 500ft that sits 116ft above ODL and is approached by a western viaduct of 1,350ft and an eastern one of 797ft 6".
The consulting engineers and agents for the Ministry of Transport were Freeman, Fox & Partners and contractors, J.L. Keir Co. Ltd. and Christiani and Nielsen Ltd. The bridge was opened on 29 May 1963 by the then Minister of Transport, Ernest Marples. The central span was replaced and other works carried out in c.2000 as part of the construction of the second river bridge that carries the coastbound M2; the original bridge now acts as the Londonbound carriageway. In addition to the two road viaducts there is now also a third in the form of the HS1 railway viaduct that opened in 2003.

Plinthed narrow gauge rack locomotive at Catania Centrale station, Sicily (Italy), with collage of descriptive plaque.
Took a few photos at Catania Centrale station while waiting for our train to Rome (and homeward). This is a narrow gauge steam locomotive built in 1915, that once worked on a now-disused line (Ferrovia Dittaino-Piazza Armerina-Caltagirone) which served a central part of Sicily with connections to Catania. The actual plaque is to one side of the loco, out of sight on the R.
TRAINSPOTTER NOTES
This is a class R.370 0-6-0 steam tank locomotive built by Romeo-Saronno. This class was found only on the narrow gauge (950 mm) lines of Sicily. They were all rack-and-adhesion locos like this one, using the Strub rack system for negotiating the steep gradients of the lines. This loco was built in 1915 and bears the number 012. It is one of 5 known remaining examples. The line it worked on (Ferrovia Dittaino-Piazza Armerina-Caltagirone, later part of the Italian state network) was 81 Km long and shut in 1971 to much local protest as it was apparently a busy line. It carried mineral freight (especially sulphur) and passengers. From the records it also seems to have been a very scenic line, with fine little stations, a tunnel and several sizeable fine viaducts. If it were ever restored, it would make an excellent tourist attraction as a museum line, and the locomotives themselves would be an unusual, if not unique, attraction in their own right - at least for rail enthusiasts.

LONDON - PARIS - CATANIA - ROME - LONDON ----- DAY 7
Photo from the seventh day of our crazy long distance rail trip from home (London) to Sicily. We had had an unscheduled but happy first night stopover in Paris because our Eurostar train out of London was badly delayed due to 'a fatality [unexplained - perhaps fortunately] on the train'. We therefore missed our onward sleeper train connection to Rome, so spent our second day stopover in Paris. We left Paris that evening, on the equivalent sleeper train service a day later. We reached Rome during the third day, where we changed to a daytime train for Catania, Sicily, arriving there the same evening. Our fourth day was our first full day in Sicily, and we spent this in the centre of Catania itself. We spent our fifth day on an excursion to Mount Etna run by GeoEtnaExplorer. We chose this tour company because the guides are geologists. Our particular tour went high up on the flanks on the summit, but not to the summit proper. For this sixth day, our final full day in Sicily, we took the bus from Catania (our base) to Siracusa, in search of Ancient Greek remains, while also getting distracted by other interesting sights, and some excellent ice cream, at various points in the day. But perhaps the most spectacular thing was the huge thunderstorm which hit us in the early part of the afternoon. The seventh day was the start of our homeward journey, for which we took our sixth train of the trip, from Catania and ending with an overnight stop in Rome.
By the end of the whole holiday trip we had seen things and sites from ancient Greek time to modern, so the trip felt like a mini Grand Tour. Or given the rich mythology of Sicily, Etna and the Straits of Messina (Odysseus, the Cyclops, Scylla & Charybdis, etc.) perhaps our trip was like a modern mini Odyssey of our times. Odysseus took ten years to get home. It took us ten trains - but no monsters.

A descriptive view of the propeller-driven interceptor, showing internal components.
With such an internal fuel capacity, and the possibility of shut-down one of the gas generator units (the free-piston engines) to reduce fuel consumption during cruise flights, this aircraft can patrol for hours before being directed to intercept enemy intruder aircrafts.
