Welcome to West Sussex Geology, dedicated to the fascinating and varied geology of West Sussex. This web site lists details of my geological walks and talks, as well as providing links to other organisations.

West Sussex has a rich and varied geology (although not always easy to discover without some guidance) that falls into distinct landscapes - the coastal plain, the South Downs, the greensand belt and the central Weald. Whether you are interested in the landscape, the rocks, fossil collecting or building stones, there is plenty waiting to be discovered. Geology also overlaps with archaeology and industrial history. Why not join me on one of my guided walks or fossil hunts, or book a talk for your group?

My name is David Bone. I enjoy geology and have been studying the subject for nearly 40 years, much of it in West Sussex. I specialise in giving talks, guided walks and teaching, especially as an introduction for people who know little about the subject. More ...

IMPORTANT CONSULTATION FOR GEOLOGISTS & FOSSIL COLLECTORS AT BRACKLESHAM

Chichester District Council have consulted on beach management at Bracklesham due to increasing conflict between activities, particularly kite surfing. We await the consultation results which will be presented for Council approval on Tuesday 7 February. This may affect the future management of geology trips or fossil hunts.

Further notes are here. Watch this space for further details.
