Sopwith Model X: Denuded basset of strata
This model shows undercut strata: when the layers of rock are inclined at a steeper angle than the eroded slope, the resulting vee pattern points downhill. Thomas Sopwith (1803 - 1879) was an eminent geologist and civil engineer who pioneered methods of representing geological features. This set of wooden models were designed to represent geological situations with faults, folds, inclines and strata that were particularly relevant to the mining industry

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Sopwith Model X, a wooden geological model created by the renowned 19th century geologist and civil engineer, Thomas Sopwith (1803-1879). The model, titled "Denuded basset of strata," represents the intricate and complex process of denudation, or the wearing away of the earth's surface through natural elements. The undercut strata depicted in this model are particularly noteworthy. When layers of rock are inclined at a steeper angle than the eroded slope, the resulting vee pattern points downhill, revealing the intricacies of the geological formations. Sopwith's innovative models were instrumental in the education and understanding of geological situations, with a focus on faults, folds, inclines, and strata that were particularly relevant to the mining industry. This wooden model, with its intricate carvings and precise stratification, is a testament to Sopwith's pioneering methods of representing geological features. The model's historical significance is further emphasized by its Victorian-era white background studio shot, which adds to its educational value and timeless appeal. Thomas Sopwith's legacy in the field of geology and geomorphology continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the natural world. This Sopwith Model X, with its undercut strata and denuded basset, is a reminder of the intricate and fascinating processes that shape our planet.
