Caption: | Norber. [Settle Excursion.] |
Description: | To explain why these Silurian rocks should be found above the Carboniferous limestone it has been suggested that the glacier passing down Crummuckdale [Crummackdale] and carrying these rocks frozen into it must have been driven over the shoulder of Norber by the ice sheet behind it and as the ice disappeared by melting it left these boulders stranded on the limestone plateau. |
