Cleveland dyke
Proberbly in trouble here posting geology again but can't help it ive officially been informed im the first person to descover that the 58 million year old Cleveland dyke is magnetic, the mad thing is the reason i made this descovery was becouse i never had the right equipment! I only had a very small and light magnett if i had had a heavy magnet the magnet would not have shown signs of any attraction.
Not in trouble at all-geology is an important part of paleontology. Way cool for you! Keep us updated!

I have now checked another outcrop of the Cleveland dyke at Thornaby on tees and the magnet ime using stuck to only a few of the many rocks. I took samples home and did a little experiment and the outcome tells me that the Thornaby on tees outcrop has the same as yet unknown ingredeant that causes the magnet to stick tight to the Stainton dyke stone but no where near as much !
Way to go! Keep up the work and it'll pay off.
Thanks bud ime gonna make sure it pays off, ive had too many nockers over the last 4 to 5 years not to ! This forum has been the first place ive been able to speak free and get welcome advice and encouragement thanks to all of ya ! Though i must be an anoyance sometimes cos i anoy myself some times!
I have now checked a 7 mile stretch of the Cleveland dyke to the east of the Stainton site were i origionaly found the whinstone was magnetic. I found that the many samples i tested were again less magnetic than the samples tested at Stainton, samples are now being looked at by experts at a nearby University. The pic shows the ridge caused by the dyke and shows its path heading north west, although its not visible like this at all times it goes all the way to the isle of mull in western Scotland.
Does anyone have any information on Titanomagnatite ive found very little info on the web !?
I have lots of info on TitanoTHERES...
Sorry.
You realy don't like rocks do ya mate, ! but remember withought em and the stuff that makes em you would have no fossils to talk about!I'm more interested in titanoHERES

This old post is a lesson to me thats why i use my blog as a record, it shames me into righting my wrongs in public! something a lot of ties sat behind desks are not willing to go close to doing incase it gives them a bad rep ! Bollocks!!! we need to learn and if that means making a twat of yourself every other week so be it! I now know the geology and what it contains in this area more than any man on earth, i know this cos if somone else knew more i would have met them in the mud n cold
Sorry got carried away there i meant to say i now know that the layered deposits mostly rock free apart from the gravell beds obviously, are to be found either side of the Cleveland dyke, this raises questions as in my opinion whatever enviorement deposited these layers didn't run into the dyke it ran either side.
Also ive just notoced i made a statement that the samples of magnetic whinstone ( basaltic andasite) was to be looked at by expertes well it was, but there was confusion as the bloke only recieved limited info on the way the samples were found and where, and he assumed i was finding glacial whin sill that was known to have a higher magnetic content,now i have prooved that the magnetic whinstone ( basaltic andasite ) is from the Cleveland dyke and not the whin sill, and now the outdated report whitch im not allowed to publish, needs and is to be rectified.I have now checked a 7 mile stretch of the Cleveland dyke to the east of the Stainton site were i origionaly found the whinstone was magnetic. I found that the many samples i tested were again less magnetic than the samples tested at Stainton, samples are now being looked at by experts at a nearby University.
