Come and meet The UK Onshore Geophysical Library (UKOGL), who will be attending the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival again this year. As part of the bicentennial celebrations, UKOGL will be demonstrating the William Smith Interactive Website at the festival, a free-to-use site celebrating the first geological map of England and Wales published in 1815. (www.strata-smith.com) by William Smith.
See how accurately the very first geological map compares to today’s modern versions, find out about the geology under your feet using the UKOGL website (www.ukogl.org.uk), children can take part in our William Smith colouring competition to try and win a fossil.
We hope to have an original version of one of William Smith’s early maps on display at various times over the two days, so come and drop by our display at the Fossil Festival for more information or to see a demonstration of the ‘free to use’ William Smith and UKOGL websites.
