This website aims to provide information on all aspects of the Geology of Jamaica and the Caribbean and any other topics I find interesting.

The site is intended to provide information for the public and for students who have an interest in geology.

Some areas of the site will be designed for people with different experience helping them understand issues related to geology.


Below is a simplified geological map of Jamaica that I drew a few years ago. It shows the main Cretaceous inliers, the White Limestone Blocks and Belts, and some of the more important folds. Some of the details have changed a little, and I need to do an update in the near future (but only once my current phase of geological mapping is completed). If you use it, please reference it.
