Sopwith Model III: Dislocation of strata
This model represents the side of a valley of denudation, with undisturbed horizontal beds of sedimentary rock when fully assembled. The model can also be taken apart to reveal the pattern of outcrops that would occur when faults are present. Significantly it illustrates how a single seam of coal, when subject to erosion and faulting, could outcrop in several areas and appear as multiple beds of coal. Thomas Sopwith (1803 - 1879) was an eminent geologist and civil engineer who pioneered methods of representing geological features. This set of wooden models were designed to represent geological situations with faults, folds, inclines and strata that were particularly relevant to the mining industry

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Sopwith Model III, an intricately carved wooden representation of a side valley of denudation from the 19th century. Designed by renowned geologist and civil engineer Thomas Sopwith (1803-1879), this model offers a unique perspective on the complexities of geological features, particularly those relevant to the mining industry. When fully assembled, the model displays undisturbed horizontal beds of sedimentary rock, providing an accurate representation of the strata found in a valley. However, the true educational value of this model lies in its ability to be disassembled, revealing the hidden pattern of outcrops that would occur when faults are present. This feature illustrates the misleading nature of a single seam of coal, which, when subjected to erosion and faulting, could outcrop in several areas and appear as multiple beds of coal. The Sopwith Model III is a testament to the scientific curiosity and innovation of the Victorian era. Carved from wood, this model represents the Phanerozoic and Paleozoic eras, showcasing the intricate stratification and stratigraphy of sedimentary rock. The model's attention to detail, including the representation of inclines, folds, and faults, makes it an invaluable educational tool for understanding geological landforms and the geomorphology of the earth. This studio shot captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of the Sopwith Model III. With a white background, the model stands out, inviting closer inspection and appreciation of the intricacies of the geological world. The model's wooden construction, reminiscent of the era in which it was created, adds to its charm and historical value.
