Red vein Indian mallow, Abutilon pictum (Striated abutilon, Abutilon striatum). Handcoloured copperplate engraving by S. Nevitt after a botanical illustration by Miss Jane Taylor from Benjamin Maund

Sopwith Model XII: Denudation of mineral veins
This model shows the influence of surface denudation and faulting on inclined strata, with increased complexity to the situation in Model VII

Sopwith Model VII: Surface denudation of veins
This model shows the influence of surface denudation and faulting on otherwise flat, horizontal strata. The discontinuity between the beds as viewed at the surface can be seen

Sopwith Model VII: Denudation of mineral veins
This model shows the influence of surface denudation and faulting on otherwise flat, horizontal strata. The discontinuity between the beds as viewed at the surface can be seen

Sopwith Model VI: Intersecting mineral veins
This Model, rather than representing the strata as they would appear at the surface, shows how a seam of coal can be displaced in the subsurface by various modes of faulting

Sopwith Model XI: Vertical intersecting veins
This model, when separated, shows the complex interface between faulted strata of rocks. Thomas Sopwith (1803 - 1879) was an eminent geologist

Sopwith Model XII: Mineral vein denudation
This model shows the influence of surface denudation and faulting on inclined strata, with increased complexity to the situation in Model VII

Sopwith Model VII: Surface denudation
This model shows the influence of surface denudation and faulting on otherwise flat, horizontal strata. The discontinuity between the beds as viewed at the surface can be seen

New Year card in the shape of a wedge of cheese. Date: circa 1890s

Platanus latifolia, fossil plane tree leaf from the Upper Cretaceous from Greenland. Specimen 170 mms left to right

Sphecidae sp. digger wasp
Shown here is a fossilized wing of a digger wasp. This specimen is around about 130 million years old and originates from the Cretaceous rock of Surrey, England

Quercus mediterranea, fossil leaf

Gersdorffite comprises of (nickel arsenic suphide). It is associated with hydrothermal veins and magma derived from sulphite deposits. Specimen from the Natural History Museum, London

Tellurium (Te) is a rare elemental metal, but is mostly used in alloys with other metals. Specimen from the Natural History Museum, London

Fluorite
6mm octahedral purple crystal on calcite collected from the Smith Vein, 1987. Green centre of the crystal does not show on film. Specimen from Carrock mine, Caldbeck, Cumbria

Fossil leaf of an early flowering plant
89-65 million year old specimen of an unidentified flowering plant species from the Late Cretaceous, Sachsen, Germany

Turquoise vein in shale
Turquoise (hydrated copper aluminum phosphate) vein in shale, from Victoria, Australia. Turquoise is perhaps the most valuable non-transparent mineral

Glossopteris, fossil plant
Shown here is Glossopteris, a fossil fern plant with tongue-shaped leaves with a net-like arrangement of veins
