Private Collections

Of the many private collections of vertebrate fossils found on or off the coast of the Eastern counties, none surpass in palæontological and also in geological interest the fine collection made with much zeal and care by Mr. J. J. Owles, of Yarmouth, inasmuch as the larger portion of the specimens are exclusively the remains of Postglacial Mammals, and were brought up in the fishermen’s dredge, either from, or in close proximity to the well-known Dogger Bank, thus proving conclusively the existence of submerged Pleistocene or Postglacial land lying off the Eastern coast in the North Sea. Prof. Boyd Dawkins is the only author, as far as I am at present aware, who has made any reference to this really valuable series of remains, and then only incidentally in his memoir, “On the Distribution of Postglacial Mammals.”

So far as I have been able to discover, there is no record of the presence of this or any other Squilla in the North Sea; to make sure I inquired of Dr. Hoek, whose experience is unrivalled, and he assures me that the only record is that of an Erichtheus stage, discovered on the Dogger Bank during the cruise of the Pommerania (1872). Early in May (1901) I received through the Director of the Natural History Museum a specimen of Squilla, as to the rarity of which in the Channel he called my attention.

SynopsisThe main channels converge at Dundee and form a single outlet passing seawards of the Broughty Ferry-Tayport constriction. The coarsest sediments, often of gravels and shell debris, line the floor of the channel, which is locally cut into late-glacial marine clays. Extensive sandy tidal flats seaward of the constriction pass eastwards into dune-covered sand spits pointing into the North Sea. The entrance bar has a delta-like form which is slowly overriding the fine sands of the North Sea floor.The median, sorting, and skewness of the sediments, and the covariation of several parameters follow patterns readily related to the physiographic features of the estuary.Many of the beach and tidal flat areas are in a constant state of change, and repeated topographic surveying reveals the magnitude of these changes on a short time scale. The changes in sediment characteristics demonstrated by repeated sampling and analysis of material from one stretch of Broughty Ferry beach are substantial. Size-frequency distribution plots indicate that up to four sub-populations of grains are present. Natural combinations of these in different proportions produce systematic variations in values of the normally used sediment characterising statistics.

Late Pleistocene and Holocene depositional systems and the palaeogeography of the Dogger Bank, North Sea

Depositional Systems

Abstract3D seismic data from the Dogger Bank, North Sea, allow the mapping of Late Pleistocene and Holocene depositional systems in unprecedented detail. The data demonstrate that glacial processes resulted in the development of incised tunnel valley systems during the Weichselian and that these were subsequently modified by fluvial processes in a pro-glacial setting. Subsequently, the Dogger Bank formed an emergent plain during the Holocene with a complex meandering river system, associated tributary or distributary channels and lakes, dominating the region. Prior to the sea level rising sufficiently to submerge the Dogger Bank around 7500 yr ago, the meandering river system was replaced by a dendritic channel network of potential fluvial, estuarine or intertidal origin. As the Holocene depositional features bear no systematic relationship to the bathymetry this study demonstrates that previously published bathymetry-based models for the Holocene palaeogeographic development of the North Sea require modification.

Fishing Fleets

The waters of the North Sea are shallow, and the weather there can be severe. On and around the Dogger Bank sudden gales cause high and heavy seas. The smacksmen of the fishing fleets in the 80s and 90s of the last century were there throughout the year on voyages which could last eight weeks, and their 50–80 ton yawl-rigged smacks were entirely at the mercy of the weather. Their fishing grounds were too far from land for them to run for shelter. They were compelled to ride out the heaviest gales or founder. In 1881 it was estimated that the North Sea fishing population numbered upwards of 12,000, the ‘Short Blue’ fleet alone consisting of 220 smacks crewed by 1,500 men.

During July and August, 1907 (Voyages XCII, XOIII, XCIV, XCV, and XCVI), the s.s. Huxley worked a series of stations reaching from near Cromer to St. Abb's Head more or less parallel with the coast line, and also a series further to the north, and extending around the eastern borders of the Dogger Bank.

An area in the central North Sea was surveyed in November 2011 in order to estimate the abundance and density of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena). A total of 2833 km of pre-determined trackline were acoustically surveyed, of which 28% included visual effort. The poor sighting conditions during the survey limited visual effort and demonstrated the advantage of using acoustic techniques for studying harbour porpoise in winter months. Absolute abundance and density estimates were calculated from acoustic encounter rates using estimates of probability of detection and mean group size. The density of harbour porpoises in the west of the survey area was almost double that in the east, with UK waters to the south-west of the Dogger Bank having the highest density of the area surveyed. The overall acoustic encounter rate was higher than most other surveys in the North Sea. The mean density across the survey area of 0.63 (95% CI 0.27–1.52) individuals km−2and distribution of porpoises was similar to that documented in the summer suggesting that high abundance of harbour porpoises in the west of the North Sea is not confined to summer months. This information is particularly relevant given plans for the construction of a large offshore wind farm on the UK section of the Dogger Bank; the resulting impacts, including acoustic disturbance from pile driving, will potentially affect substantial numbers of harbour porpoises.

AbstractA reversed seismic refraction station and some cores taken on the Dogger Bank, in the North Sea, are described. The absence of compacted sediments within the bank and the finding of only glacial or post-glacial sediments at its surface strongly suggest that the bank is a large moraine.
