Sopwith Models: denudation & faulting
Models showing the effect of denudation and faulting on how rock strata appear at the surface. Thomas Sopwith (1803 - 1879)

Sopwith Model II: Coal strata near Newcastle
Unlike the models of generic situations this representation of coal strata was specific to a particular surveyed location in England showing several thin, and mostly hidden, coal seams

Sopwith Model VII: Denudation of mineral veins
This model shows the influence of surface denudation and faulting on otherwise flat, horizontal strata. The discontinuity between the beds as viewed at the surface can be seen

Sopwith Model VI: Intersecting mineral veins
This Model, rather than representing the strata as they would appear at the surface, shows how a seam of coal can be displaced in the subsurface by various modes of faulting

Sopwith Model XI: Vertical intersecting veins
This model, when separated, shows the complex interface between faulted strata of rocks. Thomas Sopwith (1803 - 1879) was an eminent geologist

Sopwith Model XII: Mineral vein denudation
This model shows the influence of surface denudation and faulting on inclined strata, with increased complexity to the situation in Model VII

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

Sopwith Model VII: Surface denudation
This model shows the influence of surface denudation and faulting on otherwise flat, horizontal strata. The discontinuity between the beds as viewed at the surface can be seen

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

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

Sopwith Model IV: Fallacious coal indications
This model depicts the scenario where from the surface an abundance of coal appears to exist, but there is actually very little quantity below

Sopwith Model III: Dislocation of strata
This model represents the side of a valley of denudation, with undisturbed horizontal beds of sedimentary rock when fully assembled

Sopwith Model I: Stratified rocks / denudation
Black lines in this model represent coal seams, between lighter shales and sandstones. When separated the lower section shows a gently inclined valley floor

Sopwith Model II: Coal strata nr Newcastle
Unlike the models of generic situations this representation of coal strata was specific to a particular surveyed location in England showing several thin, and mostly hidden, coal seams

1904 Colonsay specimen of Coccyzus americanus, held at the Natural History Museum at Tring Date: 1904

Dorsal & Ventral Isotelus platycephalus

Cardinal Pandoriana pandora lilicina, (dorsal)

Dr Leachs 139 great auk egg
Dr Leachs 139 great auk (Pinguinus impennis) egg held in the Natural History Museum at Tring. The great auk was hunted to extinction in the middle of the 19th Century

Alexandrite crystals
A cluster of the gemstone alexandrite trillings, or twinned crystals. This gemstone was named after the Russian Tsar Alexander II. It can appear in both red or green

Launton Meteorite
The Launton meteorite fell on 15 February 1830 at approximately 7.30pm, Launton village in Oxfordshire. The meteorite is of the most common type of stony meteorite, known as an ordinary chondrite

Wold Cottage meteorite (detail)
The earliest surviving meteorite seen to land in the UK fell in Wold Cottage, Yorkshire, in 1795. It prompted the first serious investigation into the origin of meteorites

"Studioshot: A Captivating Journey through Time and Artistry" Step into the enchanting world of Studioshot, where history meets artistic expression. In this captivating collection, we encounter a diverse array of subjects that span across time and species. Guy (1946-1978), a magnificent western lowland gorilla, commands our attention with his powerful presence. His soulful eyes speak volumes, reminding us of the deep connection between humans and animals. Eurypterus, an ancient fossil eurypterid, takes us back millions of years to a time when these sea creatures roamed the Earth's waters. Its intricate details tell tales of evolution and survival in a prehistoric world. Phacops, another fossil treasure from the past, introduces us to the fascinating realm of trilobites. These armored arthropods leave us in awe as we contemplate their existence in ancient oceans. The Dodo skeleton (Raphus cucullatus) serves as a poignant reminder of extinction's tragic consequences. Through this relic from centuries ago, we reflect on humanity's role in preserving our planet's biodiversity for future generations. Amidst these extraordinary specimens lies artistry at its finest – captured within portraits that evoke emotion and grace. A ballerina adorned in a black tutu squats while hugging her knees; vulnerability intertwines with strength as she prepares for her performance on stage. In another frame, a peacock-like ballerina leans forward with crossed arms behind her back – exuding elegance and poise reminiscent of nature's most beautiful creations. "The coquetry" captures youthfulness embodied by a young ballerina donning a black skirt while delicately standing en pointe to Chopin's melodies. Her every movement is an ode to beauty itself. At the peak of silence lies "grace and charm, " where we witness the ethereal dance movements frozen in time within StudioShot's walls.
