The British Geological Survey (BGS) publishes geological maps and memoirs of districts across the British Isles.
Memoirs contain detailed information on the structure, stratigraphy, and palaeontology, and many have sections on mineral resources, geohazards, groundwater and geophysics of the district. They are well illustrated with diagrams, sections, photographs and contain extensive references and bibliographies.
Geological maps show the nature, extent and relative stratigraphical age of the different rocks within a district.
