Sopwith Model V: Dislocations of coal strata
This model shows that while very little coal may appear at ground level, coal seams (subject to faults and dislocations) can be found below the ground. 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 V, a 19th century wooden geological model created by the renowned British geologist and civil engineer, Thomas Sopwith (1803-1879). The model, which is intricately carved and layered, highlights the deceptive nature of coal deposits. Despite the minimal coal appearance at ground level, the model reveals the presence of extensive coal seams, subject to faults and dislocations, hidden beneath the earth's surface. Sopwith's innovative models were instrumental in the education and understanding of geological situations, particularly those relevant to the mining industry. This model, in particular, demonstrates the importance of recognizing normal faults and their impact on the stratification of sedimentary rock. The side view of the model, set against a pristine white background, allows for a clear and unobstructed examination of the intricate carvings, revealing the complexities of the geological world. The Sopwith Model V is a testament to the scientific advancements of the Victorian era, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and the groundbreaking methods employed by Sopwith to represent geological features. This model serves as a reminder that the earth's surface is not always an accurate representation of what lies beneath, making it an essential tool for geologists and a fascinating subject for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
