	Ballycastle Pellet Chalk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Walkway along the base of the cliff at Partnagree, north-west of Ballycastle harbour, Co.Antrim, where the Ballycastle Pellet Chalk is exposed (August 1997).
		Unlike much of the Cretaceous chalk in Britain, the Ulster White Limestone (its Irish equivalent) is a hard, well-cemented and brittle rock from which it is difficult to extract large fossils and almost impossible to recover microfossils (disappointingly, since microfossils are important aids in refining the age of the rocks).
		The foraminiferan fauna and the chalk containing them are unique in Northern Ireland and give a glimpse of microscopic life in the late Cretaceous ocean and of the little understood processes that led to the formation of the deposit.

	Marconi's, Rathlin Island and Ballycastle.
		These are just a few of the scores of events and achievements during his lifetime - and we have not touched on the greatest aid that his work created for shipping, namely the ability to sent 'wireless' distress signals which led to the saving of hundreds of thousands of lives at sea.
		How or why Marconi came to Ballycastle to undertake the trails for Lloyds is not completely clear, it was certainly related to the fact that ‘wireless telegraphy’ promised to become the most important development in tracking incoming and outgoing vessels.
		There are however, some incorrect facts around the work that took place in Ballycastle - firstly the cottage referred to as ‘Marconi’s Cottage’ situated on the shoreline, at the end of the road before Fair Head, was not where the reception of transmissions were received.
