Sopwith Model VIII: Overcutting of strata
This model shows overcut strata: when the layers of rock are inclined at a gentler angle than the eroded slope, the resulting vee pattern points uphill. 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 VIII, a wooden geological model created by the renowned 19th century geologist and civil engineer, Thomas Sopwith (1803-1879). The intricately carved model illustrates the geological phenomenon of overcutting of strata, where the layers of rock are inclined at a gentler angle than the eroded slope, resulting in a distinctive vee-shaped pattern that points uphill. Sopwith's models were instrumental in the education and advancement of geology and geomorphology during the Victorian era. They were particularly relevant to the mining industry, providing a three-dimensional representation of complex geological situations, including faults, folds, inclines, and strata. The model, set against a pristine white background, showcases the intricacies of denudation and erosion, with the eroded layers revealing the underlying stratification. The wooden model, with its meticulously carved layers, offers a unique perspective on the historical geological concepts of the 19th century. Thomas Sopwith's pioneering work in geology and geological modeling revolutionized the way geological features were represented and understood. This photograph is a testament to the enduring significance of his work and the continued importance of visual aids in geological education and research.
