	The Lapworth Museum
		Charles Lapworth was born in Faringdon, Berkshire and trained as a school teacher in Oxfordshire, his main interests at that time being literature, history, art and music.
		Lapworth recognised the importance of the graptolite fossils within the rocks of the Southern Uplands, and how they could be used to zone and correlate the sequences across the area.
		Lapworth was familiar with the latest research of Heim and Suess in the Alps, and realised that the superposition of metamorphosed gneiss and quartzite on top of limestone was due to complex, contractional folding and faulting - in short, it was due to what we would now call thrusting.

		Charles Lapworth (September 20, 1842 – March 13, 1920) was an English geologist.
		Born at Faringdon, Berkshire, and trained as a teacher, Lapworth settled in the Scottish border region, where he investigated the previously little-known fossil fauna of the area.
		Eventually, through patient mapping and innovative use of index fossil analysis, Lapworth showed that what was thought to be a thick sequence of Silurian rocks was in fact a much thinner series of rocks repeated by faulting and folding.

		Charles Lapworth was born on September 20th, 1842, at Faringdon, in Berkshire.
		Lapworth's field work showed bit by bit that the foundations on which such conclusions rested were unsound, and at the same time placed our knowledge of the Southern Uplands in a position of remarkable exactitude.
		Lapworth's field work had probably begun in 1866, but as a serious study it dates from 1869, and reached the stage of first publication in 1870, when a paper on the Lower Silurian Rocks of Galashiels was read to the Edinburgh Geological Society.

		All later writings on graptolites were largely based upon the results obtained by Lapworth.
		In 1879 Lapworth suggested the insertion of a central division of the Lower Palaeozoic rocks and that it should be called the "Ordovician System".
		While in 1899, he received the highest award of the Geological Society of London, the Wollaston Medal, in recognition of his outstanding work in the Southern Uplands, and Northwest Highlands of Scotland.

		The Ordovician, named after the Welsh tribe of the Ordovices, was defined by Charles Lapworth in 1879 to resolve a situation where followers of Adam Sedgwick and Roderick Murchison were placing the same rock beds in the Cambrian and Silurian periods respectively.
		Charles Lapworth simply took all the conflicting strata and placed them in the new Ordovician period.
		The Ordovician period started at a minor extinction event, possibly caused by a gamma ray burst, some time 490 million years ago (mya) and lasted for about 50-80 million years.

		Lapworth became a close friend of the then Professor of Geology at Imperial, Professor Watts, who was a frequent visitor to his home and accompany him on his many walks across the Chalk Downs.
		In 1927 Lapworth was elected President of the Institution of Water Engineers and such was his eminence that in 1934, a year after his death, a sum of money was donated to the Institution by another of its former Presidents to constitute "the Herbert Lapworth Memorial Fund".

		Lapworth was the first to map at 1:10,560 in the Eriboll area and demonstrated thrust and fold repetitions of strata.
		Lapworth recognised that shearing associated with thrust movement had strongly modified surrounding rocks, generating prominent banding.

		Today, following the solution worked out in 1879 by Sedgwick's colleague Charles Lapworth, geologists use both time periods, with a third one -- the Ordovician, also named for a Celtic tribe in Wales -- between the Cambrian and the Silurian, equivalent to the disputed "upper Cambrian-lower Silurian" beds.
		Sedgwick's own geological views were generally catastrophic -- he believed that the history of the Earth had been marked by a series of cataclysmic events which had destroyed much of the Earth's life.
		In this belief he followed Cuvier, and he was opposed to Charles Lyell's models of slow, gradual geological change and a more or less steady-state Earth.

	IngentaConnect Charles Lapworth and the biostratigraphic paradigm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Lapworth's paper on ‘The Moffat Series’ (1878) provided a model for deciphering the ‘interminable greywackes’ of the Southern Uplands, and one which lasted for a century.
		The changes in the biostratigraphic paradigm are discussed with reference to Lapworth's contribution; issues implicit in his 1878 paper are still contentious.
		But Lapworth's close integration of biostratigraphic range with observations on lithology, ‘barren beds’ and fossil preservation may have a new lease of life in the context of event stratigraphy.

		Later, in 1879, Charles Lapworth showed that there were three distinctive systems of fossils within the sequence and subdivided these strata as Cambrian, Ordovician, and Silurian systems, thus ending the dispute.
		Uniformitarian gradualism contrasts with various theories of catastrophism in which the Earth's features were thought to have come about in sudden events.
