Description: | two boxes of Dreikanter, Henry Preston's collection of wind-blown stones. See LCNGR : 1995.4956.6, Henry Preston's notebook on Dreikanter. Henry was very interested in these stones and studies them at great length. This is his personal collection, which were on display in the Museum when he was curator. Some have numbers or stickers on them with letters of the alphabet on. In box one, are old Museum labels with explanations of the different forms, which are identified by letters. Therefore, those stones marked 'D' are Form D - The Long Ridge. Some of the labels are missing, there are labels for form B - The Frustrum, Form C - The Cone, Form D - The Long Ridge, Form F - The Stepped. Form A, E, G, H, I and J must be missing, as there are stones marked J, so the forms must go up to this letter at least. Each type of stone is a different shape, described by it's form name. | Subjects: | Geology | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
