Jersey Museum- My rock exibition

Ralph Nichols – Geologist Société Jersiaise Lecturer, Teacher, Secretary for the Geology, Archaeology and Jèrriais Sections of Société Jersiaise.
Favourite of Jersey’s Geology: Anne Port Bay to La Crête Point, St Martin. “My favourite geology is the Anne Port agglomerate and Anne Port rhyolite (Bouley Rhyolite Formation) with flow–banding, spherulitic rhyolite and columnar jointing. The columnar jointing at La Crête Point is similar to the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland but has no crater!”

Calcite is the most common form of natural calcium carbonate. Carbonate minerals are formed of carbon and oxygen combined with various metals. Lining the holes in the rock is chalcedony, a form of quartz.
